2021 card[]
From the back of the 2021 card:
Born: 2021, El Segundo, California
Designer: Hot Wheels
In Japanese mythology, Raijin is the god of thunder, lightning, and storms. Dekotora are Japanese trucks that are chromed out, lit up and extravagantly decorated. The Raijin Express brings them together in a head turning explosion of detail that rolls by with the energy of a storm.
