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]

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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.

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

Yep. [thumbsup] My 13 year old step son said that's what he wants for Christmas! [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

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.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

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

Owee.
