What was your favorite toy car?

[Coelacanth]

I had a lot of fun with this RC trike my parents brought back from a trip to Japan. Their RC stuff back in about 1981 was WAY ahead of its time. This RC trike even predated Tamiya's Wild Willy. More details here where I posted this on a vintage RC forum I'm a member of:

Introducing Buggy Boy Wheelie!! - RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

It had a battery pack in the seat that you could position either down (for speed) or up (for wheelies). I still have it and everything works, even the headlight. I've never seen anything like it since, though Cox made a more basic-looking trike RC back around that time, but it didn't have any of the wheelie features.

Mine was definitely slot cars. My Lamborghini set from late 80s came with a red and yellow Diablo.

I had a Starsky & Hutch CB radio car that I loved.

I have a lap counter too but the linkage is messed up.
