Jon M. Chu To Direct Live-Action ‘Hot Wheels’ Movie For Mattel, Warner Bros. & Bad Robot

A few ideas to make it true to life: the cars are nearly indestructible, no matter how many ball rolls out how high they fall from, paint damage only and the occasional bent axle. Cars are either parked in a pristine multi-level box like parking, or pulled up in a giant bucket, or plastic Halloween pumpkin. Paint shops use either crayons or polish. Cars will get hammered to create the illusion of a scrap yard. Scammer will advise a younger driver to bury/hide his cars in the sand box when going for a swim. (True story, very sad) Driving over hills that somehow look like butt or boob, get stuck in a belly button or bush...(there is no she for toy cars)

If the visual style is anything close to the opening credits of Duster, it could be a ton of fun.
I hadn't thought about Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars for at least a decade prior to that show coming along.
It's far out.
