Just joined, wanted to say "hey y'all".
I've been collecting since about 1997, and collect all scales from 1/144 up to 1/18, but try to stay in the 1/43 realm nowadays. I originally started out with NASCAR stuff, but I'm also a big 60's Le Mans and Trans Am fan - specifically Fords - and I'm building up a nice collection of cars of that genre.
I used to buy as many as five cars per week, but now I'm down to just half a dozen or so per year. I display all of my cars, and only keep the boxes for the really important models.
I'm certainly brand-agnostic, but I certainly prefer some manufacturers over others. When it gets right down to the nitty-gritty, if a lesser manufacturer is the only source for a given car, that's where I'll get it. I mean, it's not like there's going to be a choice, right?
As soon as I get one more post out of the way, I can provide a link to my diecast collection page.
[EDIT] Well, I guess I won't be providing a link, as it's against the rules here. Apparently, we're supposed to share our collections a picture at a time.
