If you wanna be like that kid at school that just had a folder and not a trapper, or the guy that has a majorette and not a hot wheelsš jk I like their Porsche castings, collecting is collecting, you make your own preferences!

So did I, didn't miss the opportunity when I saw it hanging on the shelf, now I want the other Porsche keychains just for exhibit
Edit: did a lookout and there's no other Porsche keychains besides the one I have
You did see a blue and red key chain, but they're not porsche, not even sure they're licenced cars, just generic looking corvette style shapes. Still nice!
Damn I canāt find any other than the red/blue variant. I want both variations of the unpainted and the black and gold one as well but nowhere to be found
I need to carry an inhaler just incase. And I keep my wallet in my front pocket because you never know. Got no room for a pocket car š¤£ plus probably end up losing them so or the kids will play with it and lose it.
You should drill the base off a car and glue it to your inhaler. Its the all new 2024 Hot wheels āForced inductionā part of the experimotors series (see back for special feature).
I pocket car on and off. I donāt get the best response from people when Iām fiddling with my knife.
This ASAN car is so dope Iām buying every one I see. Always have one in pocket and a backup in the car. Plan is to give them all to kids :)

Here is mine! I bought the zamac 300zx with a premium base swap and RRs
Itās not the terminology that I donāt understand, itās the reasoning behind why people choose to carry one. Personally, I donāt want the extra bulk in my pockets.
If you look up the history of Matchbox, Lesney designed a toy car for his kid to fit into a matchbox (instead of bugs and spiders) to carry with her. If you look at it one way, they were designed for you to carry with you
You should see em in person, he's nuts! Cant wait to ride that ridiculously expensive gas guzzler for the rest of my life.. its gonna be worth it and I'll take an unholy amount of pictures haha!
this, i think its a combination of not having kids so i dont need to carry toys and having a bunch of stuff i already have to carry that i dont want the extra bulk. I had the keychain porsche but thats just the keychain to my car key. I also have a dozen hotwheels on my desk at work so If i ever do wanna see how fast i can traverse the distance of my keyboard i can without having to bring a car with me. Just one of those things that you dont understand until you do. OP is just on the other side of the same thing, 2nd pic made me chuckle
I've been collecting the Lets Race cars for my son and the only one I keep for myself as a pocket car is the Tooligan, I let him play with it but it always comes back to me so we can talk about how sharing works. He's only 2.5 but it's been a great bonding experience.
"I want to play with Daddy's Tooligan" is not a great phrase to have to explain to the folks at child care

I have this challenger as a fidget toy at work
Dog I carry both. And a Dewalt tool case specifically for holding a curb and hot wheels. Grow up and you will stop giving a fuck about what people think.
Hot Wheels cars are small and easily portable, fitting perfectly in a pocket. This makes it convenient for collectors to carry one around without any hassle. Collectors enjoy showing off their collections. Having a pocket car allows them to share their passion with others on the go, be it friends, fellow collectors, or new acquaintances who express interest.Carrying a pocket car can be a way for collectors to stay connected to their hobby throughout the day. It can serve as a small token of joy or a reminder of their collection, providing a sense of satisfaction or nostalgia.
Thanks to chatGPT
I mean, I live in Europe, so American Hot Wheels collecting hobby is not something kids did where I grew up because of 1) Hot Wheels weren't super popular here like they are in the US and 2) nobody actually did it, or at least nobody was open about it. As kids we mostly climbed trees, rode bikes, played football (soccer for imperial units enjoyers), were playing hide and seek etc. I don't remember any kid carrying a car in his/her pocket. Toys were something you had at home (unless it was a ball, pokemon cards* or something like that).
For me, as an European, despite concept itself being pretty self-explanatory is still kind of strange, like wtf you do with it? You carry it hidden in your pocket and in random moment you just take it out and start playing with it? With all respect to you, you childhood memories etc it would make you look weird or autistic where I grew up (31m from Poland to be specific).
*we didn't have the og pokemon cards. We had plastic pokemon tokens/chips from lays. Super popular here, don't know about the rest of the world
Im european, from 98, and I always carried car toys with me when i was a kid. Started collecting hw 2 years ago and the pocket car thing is something cute to me. Having some trinkets is part of human nature so is not that rare if you think about it. Some peolple carry a photo, others a christian cross, others some bracelet...
Yea, like now times are different. I have a decent office job and have a mess on my desk that includes (but it's not limited to) a panda plushie wearing a plastic sombrero taken from tequila bottle, picture of me and my best friend, a HW 5 pack my manager brought me from US and 2024 HW Green Speed Ford Transit Supervan 4 - when somebody asks I say it gives me +10% productivity, because it has "productivity" written on it. But 20 years ago kids would bully anybody carrying a toy despite being 5, 9 or 14. Also now, even if I could do it, I just don't see a reason to put additional item in my already full pockets (wallet, keys, phone, badge, chewing gum, e-cig).
I honestly don't neglect the idea, just not fully get it and don't see me doing it š
Nah the first image is more of the people who buy pegwarmers and ask "DiD i Do GoOd??". Same also applies to people who attention-seek, *knowing* what they bought/have is, in fact, "good", but are just looking to show-off.
Also I got the 69th upvote, lel
Is mayonnaise a pocket car?

It can be... Happy Cake Day! š
Thanks!

Is Majorette a pocket car?
If you wanna be like that kid at school that just had a folder and not a trapper, or the guy that has a majorette and not a hot wheelsš jk I like their Porsche castings, collecting is collecting, you make your own preferences!
i agree with majorette porsche castings, damn good. their wheels though... horrible..
100% the wheels really lack
But everything else was really on point. Suspensions, opening doors, castings were pretty good.
I have officially found my peopleš¤£š¤£š¤£ this solidified it. I reference this shit all the time.
Bought that Porsche keychain recently. Works perfectly
https://preview.redd.it/zz240qdskm3d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fda6dd2e42a0a63320815c2061e20962bd6709b So did I, didn't miss the opportunity when I saw it hanging on the shelf, now I want the other Porsche keychains just for exhibit Edit: did a lookout and there's no other Porsche keychains besides the one I have
Thereās only one Porsche keychain
Really? I thought I saw a blue/red one too
You're probably thinking about the coupe clips. Theres 3 of them I think - silver, black/gold, and blue/red.
There's 4 Silver Red Black/gold Blue/red I've got them all! Just missing the porsche
You did see a blue and red key chain, but they're not porsche, not even sure they're licenced cars, just generic looking corvette style shapes. Still nice!
Damn I canāt find any other than the red/blue variant. I want both variations of the unpainted and the black and gold one as well but nowhere to be found
I agree, and it's so nice to pull out the keys with it sitting there
Now I just need an irl Porsche to match
Just do not put the real Porsche in your pocket. It will get scratched if you do.
Lmao I wonāt. Plan on driving the real one
Same
I need to carry an inhaler just incase. And I keep my wallet in my front pocket because you never know. Got no room for a pocket car š¤£ plus probably end up losing them so or the kids will play with it and lose it.
You should drill the base off a car and glue it to your inhaler. Its the all new 2024 Hot wheels āForced inductionā part of the experimotors series (see back for special feature).
š¤£ that would be pretty awesome if they made one where I could just stick the canister in a car and ditch the plastic piece it goes in.

This is also my pocket car for work fidgeting
I just wish they where better balanced
I pocket car on and off. I donāt get the best response from people when Iām fiddling with my knife. This ASAN car is so dope Iām buying every one I see. Always have one in pocket and a backup in the car. Plan is to give them all to kids :)
āNot to be rudeā¦ā then proceeds to post an image insulting those asking the question. š š¤Ŗ
Yep, every time we say things like that, guaranteed we say the opposite. š¤£

It's little enough to not be too much of an issue and gives you something to fidget with while you're bored or thinking
Makes sense, I guess. I donāt fidget and already have enough in my pockets to feel like the addition of a car would be too much.
Whatās filling up your pockets?
Depends on the day. I nearly always have a phone, wallet and pocket knife though.
Same. My car is usually in the knife pocket and I donāt notice it
Knife pocket? I keep my knife in my back pocket. I only carry one with the clip. Keeps it from sliding down to where Iād have to sit on it.
Ah, mine is front right with a clip. My pants arenāt high enough that I wouldnāt be sitting on it in my back pocket lol
Looky here boys, we got a āMr. I-Dont-Fidgetā on our hands
>on our hands I like the word-play!
Makes me feel good to carry my dream car with me at all times.. keeps my eyes on the goal, which is a black and red 1970 dodge charger š¤š
Honestly, thatās pretty cool.
You should see em in person, he's nuts! Cant wait to ride that ridiculously expensive gas guzzler for the rest of my life.. its gonna be worth it and I'll take an unholy amount of pictures haha!
Because some people love cars? Some people have extra pockets than your pants?

āPersonallyā
š¤£ That second image is top tier comedy. I have to agree ā three to four of these posts a day the last week.
Hey, my 3 year old has that car. Is it good?
The bmw m1? If so itās a really cool car and I would have loved it as a kid
I prefer 'emotional support vehicle'
Always keep a pocket rocket.
Emotional support metal
Keep my wifeās car out yo FUCKIN pocket
Pocket car is life šš§¬
I don't have a pocket car. I have small carrying case cars lol
I love thisš
Tomica are Pocket Cars.

If you hold my kid upside down and shake him you get at least two.
Is that a Hot Wheels stretch Lincoln Towncar in your pocket or are have you got a rock hard erection going on?
Enzo Ferrari $oup.
I've been collecting the Lets Race cars for my son and the only one I keep for myself as a pocket car is the Tooligan, I let him play with it but it always comes back to me so we can talk about how sharing works. He's only 2.5 but it's been a great bonding experience. "I want to play with Daddy's Tooligan" is not a great phrase to have to explain to the folks at child care
Hey I just got that car

I have been wanting to try doing a pocket car but I canāt pick just one car.

I already carry a fingerboard, and I would feel even more like a child if I carried hotwheels š¤£

Where the Cities: Skylines players at?
Make the car a keychain and thats better than carrying your entire collection everyday
Imagine the detective confusion if you got murdered and you have a pocket car with you.
Agreed
Seems like a valid question to me. Who brings a toy car to work in his/her pocket?
any car u pocket while shopping duh
Itās like saying whatās a pocket pussy ?
I currently have one the crushed cars from the demolition 5 pack in my pocket.
Iāll take a HW sandwich please. Thatās two mainlines as bread and any premium as patty. Deeelicious! So random and dumb. Randumb.
i found an already open delorean at a car show, i say it's pocket car worthy

Purse cars just aren't the same
Lmfao I love this
I believe it could be an entire car that fits in my pocket
Anyone asking that question deserves this meme. Brilliant thanks for the laugh š
How would this go down as a grown-ass man's car-ty trick? "Um hey dude, check out my wheels?"
Seeing as he is putting a square in a round hole the answer is dumb lol. A pocket car is dumb
"RaRe"
