Bling cars

The guys on ‘the flats’ have always felt a bit cheated by the Hotwheels which just kind of lacked personality i.e K&N airfilter modifications and a branch or two.

Well now there are Blings which come complete with oversized wheels, muscled bodies and loud, unabashed colors like Hummer Yellow and Pimpin’ Purple. (The name Blings comes from ‘bling bling’, which is hip-hop speak for diamonds, jewelry and other expensive stuff that will impress and intimidate your environment. As a phrase, it was recently added to the Oxford English Dictionary, yet another sign of hip-hop massification. Springwise is sure you knew this, but just in case). In HotWheels’ own words: “Cause when you’re rollin’ down the street, it’s all about the Blings, baby!”
