I'm holding out for a 1:18 to match up with my other models...

but I might be a 1:24 die cast and also saw a mini 370Z christmas ornament for the tree, might get that too lol

Have over 2000+ Z's ranging from smaller than a micro machine to as large as 1:10 scale.

Also have about 500 other various cars that I like. Skyline's new and old, STI's, etc.

Where does the line blur between passion and obsession?

It was definitely passion that turned into obsession. However now it's more back to passion. Originally I started off collection Z31's, then 300zx's in general, then pretty much all things Z. Went a little nuts and next thing I knew I had a huge collection. Then 5 years ago I went to med school and pretty much put my collection on hold. Since graduation I've resumed collecting but only to get my hands on a few 370z's. Now that I have my house and a room dedicated to my collection I just need to find the time to actually unpack and display them. Not sure I'll go back down the path of obsession again but I'm definitely not going to get rid of what I have either.
