Let’s start a list of 1:18 scale civilian vehicles that work well with joes. Post a pic & what it is, also provide link if possible.

I just picked one of these up at Ollie's for $8, to turn into a vehicle for the Baroness. Not sure what color, something exotic in black with leather interior.

Every year around November Costco and Samsclub get a big pallet of Maisto 1:18 cars, they mainly get various sports cars with one or two SUVs or Jeeps and sometimes a cop care. They all probably need to be modified on the inside to fit figures however.

Lil Bratz mini cooper looks cool.

I just got in a lot of rc cars and am wondering about scale. the reason I snagged it is a Plymouth prowler that is supposed to be 1:25 scale, I don't mind it being a bit small because it is for ratfink. i'd rather have it small than too big for him.

I need to know what these vehicles scale at for 1:18.
Porsche 930
dodge viper (I think this one is too big,but i'm thinking batmobile)
around 2008 4 door chevy Tahoe
hummer h2 ,h3 and h3t pickup

or if there is a resource of 1:18 vehicle measurements, please point me to it :)

here is my filthy lot of rc cars. the seller decided I didn't need 3 of them in his pics, these are my pics. he also just threw them in a box so the corvette got destroyed, it's Barbie sized so I didn't want it anyway. the vintage tyco mutator had two broken body mounts, but that might have been b4 shipping, luckily on the frame side of the mount so the body is pretty nice. the h3t has a cracked roof b4 shipping. I wish the seller would of contacted me before they decided to not ship 3, because I would of rather had those than the 3 way too big. even with all that wrong I can't really complain because he paid more to ship them than I paid. I've been in the same boat as a seller, and many times as a buyer where the seller cancelled or refunded my $$ only to resell for more.

I've been stripping them and cleaning the bodies, wheels and tires. I haven't taken the two largest ones apart yet (monster truck w/flames, yellow h3 hummer) or the smallest vintage mini bandit. those three might have value to someone else beyond just the wheels and tires I would use.

when I get them cleaned up i'll post some pics next to a figure to show scale.

I spotted that (might have been that mold but a different property?) and thought it would work pretty well as a little like "datsun" delivery car.

Playmobil can work too, but you will always have to modify things for more leg room, especially with the taller modern figures. One of my favorite exaples is chad_ghost's Extensive Enterprises executive jet.

finally some pics of my rc lot with figures. these are the closest of the lot.
Image
the prowler is small 1:25, but big enough to make a t-bucket style rat rod
Image
the porsche is one of those 80's cheap rc cars that used a hidden wheel upfront to steer. I hope with bigger wheels it will be closer to 1:18
Image
the viper is way big, but I think slammed and armored up will make a nice batcar
Image
under the viper shell looks like a cool ratrod or thunder machine type vehicle :)
Image
this was the truck closest to our scale, might make a cool but huge suv.

This time of year leading up to x-mass Costco and Sam's Club get pallets of 1;18 scale cars for about 15 bucks each. unfortunately nearly all of them need to be modified to fit Joes, and its mostly sports cars which i dont consider to really be everyday civilian cars. I really just wish for a camry or an accord for ounce. Image

I got a nice Jeep at sams years ago. Would like them to get in a 1982 Camaro.
