For $100k, it better have the following capabilities:

- will integrate and eject from your current car (not compatible with the Prius)
- has horizontally-rotating front tire, as per the entrance when he plays chicken with the truck
- will stretch for lower 18-wheeler clearance
- fires a harpoon equipped with steel rope
- will climb a brick wall for slick about face maneuver
- sounds like the original (which would entail having a Tesla Roadster electric engine)
- comes in black

A few thoughts:

1) You could never ride it on the street legally.   [leo].....[bang]
2) You think Monster Butt is bad, did anyone look at the seat on that thing?...that would be called "Bat Butt"  [cheeky]


Otherwise very cool!  [thumbsup]

With a really talented French dude.  JP Goy is le insane.  I think there were some videos of the practice runs floating around, I couldn't find them...
