GM Afternoon

**1997 → 2012 → 2026: The slow death of detail.** Once upon a time, even the underside of a Hot Wheels car was a tiny work of art. Engines, exhaust pipes, mechanical details—all molded into something most kids would never even look at. Fast-forward 29 years, and nearly everything has been smoothed away. Three generations of the same toy. A fascinating little snapshot of manufacturing, cost-cutting, and how products quietly change over time. Sometimes progress means figuring out how much you can remove before anyone notices. #HotWheels #Nostalgia #90sKids #ToyHistory #Design #Manufacturing #CostCutting #Enshittification #RetroToys #ThenAndNow
