A Geneva resident has more than 500 miniature cars and trucks inside his home on East North Street. He’s affectionately referred to as “The Hot Wheels Guy,” according to the Finger Lakes Times, who recently profiled his collection.

“Some people think I’m crazy, and my wife wasn’t sure about my collecting at first, worrying about the cost,” McKee told the Times. “Now she’s a believer that my collection has value and will help in our retirement.”

Both brands are produced to this day.
