Awards and Honors

September 2003 Michael was awarded a Guinness World Record ™ for his collection of 3,711 Different Model Cars. Although Michael has more than 15,000 toy cars in his collection, that record was for 3,711 different Hot Wheels model cars. The old record was 1,500.
In 2006, Michael's record was broken by a man in Argentina with 7,000 different models cars.
Michael has since brought his title back to the USA in February 2007 with 8128 different Hot Wheels model cars! Part of this collection is on display at the Childrens Museum in Utica, New York.
2008 Michael was featured in "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" book #5 "Prepare To Be Shocked!" for his Hot Wheels obsession.
