Yes, I collect both of those. I also have a wide variety of "Unpaid Bills". Many of which I have not paid, simply by choice, and for no other reason..

LOL Trucky

Cool you have Z50's! I have a '72 Z50 with a '69 CT 70 engine swapped onto it... It's beat to hell because I've had it for 30 years! Took it out the other day to goof with it and got it running but I didn't notice the fuel pouring from the carbuerator. The thing back fired and erupted into flames right there between my legs! After I put it out, I found the fuel leak, fixed it and she fired right back up, burned and all. I should really restore that puppy.

Back on topic, over the years I've collected Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. You guys are going to think I'm a big puss but I also collect miniature ceramic and otherwise breakable horses...

Corgi? Matchbox? Keep the boxes?

I have a dozen or so Corgi cars from the late 1970's. Didn't keep the boxes though-- then they'd be worth somethin'.

whatever I can pull from the shelves at the stores..

When I lived in CT my bestfriends dad collected toys and he taught me how to collect them..

all of my stuff is in the box.. I should buy two or more of each.. but. I'm a college kid and.. its not that much of a priority.. just like a reward every now and then..


My dads father collects

German Cuckoo clocks (all from the father land)
Beer Steins
Spoons
books
wood working stuff

He said he is leaving them all to .. meeeee... I love his clocks...

he also has a nice collection of post war Rolexes he bought while in West Germany in '46

He gave me one as well as a nice hamilton... I sometimes wear my Rolex to work just to blow customers minds..

Last time I wore it some lady was giving me guff about how minimum wage workers are stupid and etc.. I flash my Rolex and tell her I have a Mercedes in the parking lot with a big trunk and she shut up...

I have a glass jar, of which I "Break-Wind" into, as often as I can. The collection has grown rather large, and I've moved it to bigger jars, on several occasions over the past 15 years.

I Ebayed, my last collection, and got top dollar for it, from a natural Gas supply company, in Europe. I aim to get bigger money for this collection though, because the price of "Gas" has gone up so much in the past few years.

I once had a smaller collection, but when I was moving, I dropped the jar in the driveway, and it broke. My contribution to the environment. The smell was terrible, and I watched the clouds part, as it made it's way into the OZONE layer and hastilly burned a hole, clean through it...

LOL, Trucky
