Title: 1,200 Hot Wheels In Motion!
Post by: Monster Dave on November 23, 2010, 07:20:03 AM
What's it like watching 1,200 toy cars zip around an inconceivably tangled kinetic sculpture, charging and whirring all at once? Like choreographed chaos!

This is a good example of how well traffic would move if assholes couldn't constantly change lanes...  [laugh]

Pretty cool. Some people just have way too much money to play with. I wonder what that cost to build. I'm sure its at least got 4 figures.

If the guy bought every car at .99 cents each it would be over $1000 alone!!!

Well beyond four figures. That framing is pricey by itself, let alone the conveyors....

The hotwheels track could bring the heat. I still flinch when I see orange plastic.  :D

Oh yeah, as said above those aren't HotWheels cars.

Worse yet were the slightly more beefy, yellow Matchbox tracks.

Owee.
