#toy race car

Took a nap and dreamt basically the typical death-game stuff in vibes with the setting being a giant-ass hotel, and on the 3rd floor down it was basically "Don't get caught/seen or you'll get shot and got x respawns" with cowboys

anyhow I wrestled their gun (it's a toy one literally w/ a cork for a bullet) from one of them, shot that guy and the number of cowboys went down from 400 to...well 399 This one no longer had to participate

So I started a union and had them all go...idk, on strike? I incited them to get shot by me to be free from having to chase others and enjoy some nice time by themselves or their families and it worked

So, recently there was confirmation that a proper line of cars based upon Hot Wheels Let's Race will be coming out in 2025. Not just the standard cars, with the show's name in the corner, but a proper, dedicated line (there was also one in 2024)! It's stated to be a line of 5 cars, but I have only seen confirmation for what four of these cars are. Two of them are said to be recolors of already existing cars; one being a pink & orange Donut Drifter, and the other a Rodger Dodger of unknown colours. The other two are original for the wave. One is the Street Shrieker, Cruise's signature car from the show. But the other one is the one I'm interested in- the Super Twin Mill.

Call me silly for not knowing this beforehand, but apparently Hot Wheels come with a small description on the card? And the one for the Super Twin Mill is very interesting to me, as it alludes to future events in the series. I have only found one source for this card, and am currently looking for another to back it up. If anyone can help me with this, please message me! The description I have found reads as follows:

"Soar to the finish line by combining Track Blasters with Double Speed to form a fiery fast finishing move! Featured in Hot Wheels Let's Race, Coop's upgraded Twin Mill has holographic spoilers, a souped-up body kit, and plenty of power."

If this is correct, that means we will be seeing a new, upgraded Twin Mill car in the third season, which is to be owned and used by Coop in future races. And honestly?? I hope this is true, because There's lots of potential to take this in a good direction storytelling wise!

The Twin Mill Dash owns in the series is already held in high regards; It's Dash Wheeler's favorite car, and it's incredibly fast, having been the car she drove when she won the Ultimate Garage herself. So what if, with Cruise having even more upgrades to her own car, and the second round of training coming to a close, that the Ultimate Garage racers are given an opportunity to either create their own signature cars, or upgrade a car of their choosing to make their own, complete with new power-ups and track blasters similar to the ones Cruise has equipped on her own. An episode dedicated to this, plus the learning curve regarding all the new stuff, would be a lot of fun!

I think it makes sense, in regards for "why" an upgraded version of this car would exist. Need to beat a talented racer with an overpowered car? Make your own overpowered car, based off the previous top car!

Let me know what you think! And if you have any other information about the series of cars (the toys) please let me know!)

Reyes really watched her son at the age of two drifting around in his toy car all over the garden and still thought “no it’s fine he’s just a child enjoying a toy he might not become a professional racing driver when he grows up he might choose something else”

Team, it’s a bar. It’s a bar. That kitchen that has no stovetop, isn’t a kitchen. It’s a bar.

The cupboards under the bench -> they are not cupboards there’s no doors, they’re shelves where trays of pint glasses might have once lived. (They are also all empty - Babe please buy some plates or a blender or something)

Babe found himself a nightclub, thought I really like those holes in the walls and BAM, got myself a home.

Has anyone seen a fridge?

Did some editing this morning before I have to run into work and y'all the tonal difference between the mall route and the funeral route is so funny to me. Vastly different emotional experiences.

HWLR- Car Count (with graphs!)

A look at how many times each car is chosen in Hot Wheels Let's Race, both overall and per character! Over the last two days, I did a full-series re-watch, and counted each time every character chooses a car to drive, whether they drove it or not, and if they ever switched cars during the episode (and if so, to what).

While the overall data looks at cars both chosen and driven, individual character data only looks at cars chosen. If a car was driven, but was not chosen originally, it will not be counted for the "cars chosen" category.

The data also goes through how many times a character gets to drive during the series (this is out of 30 possible times), how many cars overall are chosen across the series, how many unique cars are chosen across the series, the top 5 cars overall for the series, and the top 3 cars for each of the six campers.

THE OVERALL COUNT

Across all 30 episodes of Hot Wheels Let's Race, cars are chosen or drove a total of 182 times. The series features 45 unique cars across its run.

The most chosen car across the show is the Baja Jump Truck (13 times), with the Mach Speeder (8 Times) in second, and the GT-Scorcher, Rocketfire and Twin Mill (7 times each) tied for third.

Fourth and fifth place also result in ties, with the Rodger Dodger, Shark Bite, Street Wiener, and Tricera-Truck (6 times each) in fourth, and the Aristo-Rat, Buns of Steel, Gotta Go, Mad Manga, Mountain Mauler, Power Surge, Roller Toaster, Sand-Ivore, Skull Crusher, and Veloci-Racer (5 times each) in fifth.

Individual character data under the cut!

COOP

Coop drives in all 30 episodes of HWLR, being one of two characters to do so. He drives the highest amount of unique cars, being 19. Coop's most-chosen car, surprising no-one, is the GT-Scorcher (7 times), with the Mach Speeder (4 times) in second, and the Rocketfire (3 times) in third.

SPARK

Spark drives in 29 out of 30 episodes, and is tied for the lowest number of unique cars chosen, at 14. Spark's most-chosen car is a tie, between the Rodger Dodger and Tooligan (4 times each), with both second and third also resulting in ties, having the Roller Toaster and Shark Bite (3 times each) in second, and the 2-Tuff, Mach Speeder, Mountain Mauler, Power Surge, and Veloci-Racer (2 times each) in third.

MAC

Mac drives in all 30 episodes of HWLR, being the only character other than Coop to do so. He is tied with Spark for the lowest number of unique cars chosen, at 14. Mac's most-chosen car is the Baja Jump Truck (9 times), with the Sand-Ivore (4 times) in second, and the Gotta Go (3 times) in third. He is the character to have chosen a singular car the most times, having chosen the Baja Jump Truck more times than any other character has chose any other car.

BRIGHTS

Brights drives in 27 out of 30 episodes, and has the second-highest amount of unique cars chosen, at 18. Brights' most-chosen car is a tie, between the Aristo-Rat and Street Wiener (3 times each), with second and third place both also resulting in ties, with the Car-De-Asada, Donut Drifter, Glory Chaser, Power Surge, and Tricera-Truck (2 times each) in second. Due to Brights' high variety of unique chosen cars, but lower driving numbers when compared to other characters, all of the cars in third place were driven a total of one time each.

AXLE

Axle drives in 23 out of 30 episodes, tied with one other character, and has a total of 16 unique cars chosen across the series, also a tie between another character. Axle's most-chosen car is the Skull Crusher (4 times), with the Veloci-Racer (3 times) in second, and a tie between the Glory Chaser, Madfast, and Rocketfire (2 times each) for third.

SIDECAR

Sidecar drives in 23 out of 30 episodes, being tied with Axle. He has a total of 16 unique cars chosen across the series, also tied with Axle. Sidecar's most-chosen car is the Mad Manga (4 times), with the 2-Tuff (3 times) in second, and a tie between the Mountain Mauler, Rip Rod, and Tricera-Truck (2 times each) for third.

HOW OFTEN DO OTHER CHARACTERS DRIVE?

Outside of the main six racers, Dash drives the most times, doing so in 5 out of 30 episodes. Cruise drives in 4 out of 30 episodes, and any other characters counted (Striker Spoiler, Prof. Rearview and the self-driving Bone Shaker) only drive in one.

CONCLUSION

All of this data is subject to change, once season 3 airs (presumably) the last 10 segments, and more data is added to the mix! Maybe I'll update this once it does happen, for a more concrete overall look at the series. If there's anything else you want to know that can reasonably be found using the data I have collected, feel free to ask! I'm also happy to share a read-only copy of all of the spreadsheets I used to collect the information, if you would like to take a look, or gather your own information to add on! As always, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

Now... go buy a Baja Jump Truck, it seems like they really want you to.
