I have over 1,200. Mostly dale Earnhardt, and Dale Jr. Have all of Jr’s ever made. Have a lot of Jeff Gordon for my son, And a lot of Steve park and Kevin Harvick for me ol lady. I have just about 1 or 2 of every driver and I also have several autographed cars as well from Dale Sr. and Jr., Ryan Newman, Mark Martin, Kevin Harvick, Dale Jarret, to Kasey Kahne. Just to name a few. My favorites though are the 2004 Dale Earnhardt Daytona 97 crash car elite, and the 2000 Peter max elite. I have also every “Raced Version” cars ever made too! All of these are 1/24 scale. Way to many 1/64’s to count. my guess, 3,000-4,000. I am a NASCAR NUT!!

I have basically just started collecting them. Right now the only one I have is Tony Stewart’s Winston Cup Champion Grand Prix. I was able to get Tony to autograph it a couple of months ago when he did a PR stop where I live. Th cool thing about this car is my 8 year old nephew game it to me for Christmas. It was basically a toy that he had that he knew I’d like. Isn’t that cool!

I don’t have any diecast cars but I just wanted to say you have great taste in drivers. I saw from some other answers you had that you like Mark Martin, one of the classiest drivers EVER and that you dislike Jr and even more importanly Stewart. There are very few drivers I dislike but Smoke is my absolute least favorite. Aren’t you glad that Mark is in a Chevy now and looking the best he ever has in his career?

I do. I’ve only got two at the moment, but they are awesome. I have a Brian Vickers one (when he was with Hendrick) and a Jamie McMurray one (when he was with Ganassi). But what makes them special is they are both autographed.

I have a Harry Gant 33, a Hardee’s 28 (Hardees giveaway car from the 80s), 1982 and 1983 #15 Wrangler Fords for Dale Earnhardt, and a BIG #3 Ricky Rudd Piedmont Airlines car which is a bank. Also a few plastic models (Bobby Allison AMC, Dale Earnhardt Ford), and a HUGE Bill Elliott #9, about two feet long.
It’s funny I remember my boss taking me to the Post Office to rent a box (small town in VA), I wound up with box #3. He said “You got Ricky Rudd’s number”. He was a #11 Darrell Waltrip fan (touched in the head, his whole family drove Fords but for some silly reason he pulled for Chevy), we always associated numbers with car drivers we knew, so 3 was always Ricky Rudd. But most of the young whippersnappers nowadays would probably think of earnhardt (he’s 15 to me).

I used to collect die cast but stopped about 3 years ago. I have about 300 cars most of them are Dale Earnhardt and Dale Jr.. I have a lot of cars from Dale Earnhardt that are worth a lot. Even though I don’t have that many cars my collection is worth a lot money!

I do. Even though I started collecting in 2003 my collection is significantly smaller than some of you others who answered. I have all of Dale Jr’s cars from the 2003 and 2004 seasons. From the 2005 season I have Juniors “Born on Date” Budweiser car, a Gold version of his “Oreo/Ritz” Busch Series car, The regular “Budweiser” paint scheme car, and the “3 Doors Down” black & red car Jr drove at the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 in Richmond that year. I also have a few of Dale Sr;s cars. His “Peter Max” car, the orange “Wheaties” car, The “1996 Atlanta Olympics” car, Dale Sr’s “Winston Cup Series Victory Lap” car that Richard Childress drove that year.

Me, every year from January to late April I live in Iowa, and there are four toy shows that my dad and I go too. At these toy shows they have everything there from John Deere Toy Tracters to toy Farm Sets and Race Cars, and there is this one family who always seem to have the Die-cast car that I want. They even know the dates that the new cars are comeing out, at the Toy Show at Mason City Iowa, in April I was looking for Kevin harviks Shell Car, and no one had it and I asked them when it would be coming out and they said that it should be comeing out this summer. I have a bunch of Dale Earnhardt Dr, and Dale Jr cars and Jeff Burton Cars and Kevin Harvik and a few Jeff Gordon cars, and some other Die-Cast Cars
