Look What I Did - "New York Race Track Room"

[coochie2u]

Nice set-up for sure. I definitely wouldn't want to get in a bidding war with Joe over a slot car on ebay or something.

[alexcala1]

Joe what you did there was awesome. I am thinking of starting a new business, restraunt,hobbyshop,racetrack and you gave me some great decorating ideas. Especially the corrigated tin, that looks so cool. Have fun.

[swimmerB0B]

what joe doesn't tell you is he got caught with his hands in the cookie jar and he's been grounded ever since.

[fatgirlfister]

At first I thought this guy was the host of the show. Great job!

[NOTSODOTCALM]

joe your wife is sleeping with the guy next door but you my friend as a builder and car guy are my hero LET GO MORE MAN TIME

[slot6768]

SUPER SUPER SUPER !!!

[danielltaylor]

Excellent. I would like to live next door to you.

[Testwatcher2010]

Hi - my compliments for your track and very impressive slot room! Just great! Painting the track is also an idea for my own slot track... Best wishes from Switzerland! Rico

[J24ZYFAN]

[Thecarroom]

@J24ZYFAN Me, too - used to drive my dad nuts. Hot wheels cars in the drain all the time...

Thanks for watching!

[chachi3180]

you have too much money asshole!...typical american greedy jackass!!!!!!

[Thecarroom]

@chachi3180 Yet another classy comment from a garden variety idiot. I invite all of the visitors here to have a look at this genuis's Youtube channel for even more brilliance. Not kid friendly.

[chachi3180]

@Thecarroom .sorry i offended you.you seem angry...i dont have any oil so loosen up yank and dont declare war on me!

[shooteraod]

That looks outstanding and from the looks of that cute little girl you have playing with the cars in one in a trillion...she is having as much fun as you are...perfect Father & daughter play time.

[Thecarroom]

@shooteraod Thanks! We're having a hard time using the track these days, because we use the room as a production studio for a weekly show we do about model cars (search "thecarroom" on Youtube, and you can see some of the clips). That little girl is now a tall eight year old! She still loves cars, and we have a great time with them.

Thanks for watching!

[rcwizzard1]

Very nice. I think deep down everyone is a kid at heart. we never really grow up, we just get bigger! LOL thanks for the nice video. Enjoy that hard work!!!

[Thecarroom]

@rcwizzard1 Thanks! We haven't had much chance to use it for a couple months because we use the space as a production room for an Internet show we do every Saturday night - it's called "Car Room LIVE!" and it's about model cars. You can friend us on Facebook and get all the info - check it out. Look for "The Car Room".

[phoeniximperator]

so cool

[teamdunes]

great track , i like that your creative in using your space . i do the same thing.

[Ahya728]

[v6hot]

[MrAquarium]

[gurney37]

[Nevoexpo]

[Ahya728]

[wisdomstar1981]

[bygota]

insane!!! if it was a 4 lane track, it would be totally insane!!!

***** !!!

[playstion35696]

this track is awsome but if ur gunna have a track like this it should be 4-lanes

[hamsammich69]

hey joe you make me sick. i say that jokingly. that is the coolest room a slot car junky could have. i love your display cases. often i daydream about a chance to build a similar room such as yours. maybe one day., when we get a bigger house. but 'til then , your "joes garage" will echo in my brain. great job.

[darticus1]

FANTASTIC! Now its my turn! Want to build 1/24 Carrera digital track to the ceiling. Ron

[Petenaldo]

Hey, your racetrack inspires me :)

I would also add a traintrack and a little golden-gate-bridge for tha cars...

[bigkane568]

i have slot cars well mine my dad

s and my brothers.

[bigkane568]

yo how did you build this????

it is so rad!!!!!!

how many slot cars do you have??

[tenoregermania]

Why did you leave some of the track unpainted? Or maybe I'm just imagining things?

Is this Carrera track?

[Thecarroom]

We used to have weekly get togethers of all the collectors around here - if we get that started again, I'll post about it. Thanks for watching.

[Thecarroom]

Thanks - a lot to dust, too, LOL!

[andy555andy]

he has like 1000's of cars!!! it propa sweet thoe! awsome.

[Thecarroom]

We're always trying to keep tabs on the collection - we're about due for another count. Thanks for watching!

[oliverman22]

we share the same passion : )

[domer99]

Wow, what a great job! I think just as great as the track are the display cases that surround the room. What a great way to enjoy the cars when not in use!! Truly an inspiration.

-Nick

[Thecarroom]

Thanks, Nick!

We got the glass ones when an art store moved a few years ago. The wooden units are modified from IKEA "Billy" cases.

Thanks for watching.

[sgk76]

nice effort

[formula112967]

We have an unfinished basement and you gave us some great ideas, thanks go to you and your family. We collect hotwheels (we lost count after about 6,000), johnny lightnings (about 4,000), a good chunk of Danbury, Franklin and GMP's. I thank you again for your support and input to a hobby that most people think is for just kids.

[captainhappy1959]

Hi, Ben - '

Jeez - with all the holiday goings-on I didn't know if I'd responded to you. Thanks for the kind words. We've been having a lot of fun with it, and now the show is really starting to get some attention, so we're really plugging away.

Thanks for watching our "other" show -

Hope you're having a great holiday -

All the Best,

Joe

[whufcforeverr]

hi, im sunil. I live in england and I too love slot cars. i think what you did was great!

people dream of a room like that.

[formula112967]

Hey Joe, I found your "Playing With Cars" site this morning while surfing for diecast, and I gotta say your site, videos, cars, track and basement are incredible. You also have a great family, it seems your wife is very supportive of your hobby and what a wonderful daughter, she must love "the room".

(continued to next text)

[JimShadyUK]

Sir, I salute you.

[bazookajodi]
