Lets face it. Some of the car designs for Hotwheels were pretty cool. Too bad they never actually made cars like that.

A corporate takeover of the Hotwheels company by some big car company, (or at least buying the designs) and then making life-size driveable Hotwheels cars.

       Economically feasible or does that not matter?

       Economically feasible? Pshaw. Since when have HB ideas been economically feasible?   

       I'm thinking the fancy panelwork woul be the major cost additions. You could use a regular engine and framework for some of them.

       The cars would be make-able but those big ass track loop-de-loops...I dunno.   

       I think it's a fun idea. Life should be so much more fun than it seems to be some days. If someone could afford to play like this, why not? +

       GM could do worse. Has done worse, for that matter.   

       There is a Japanese car on the road that looks like a child drew it, big and boxy and square edged.

       Have you seen some of DaimlerChrysler's recent creations in the US? Not far off.

       One thing I've noticed is that Hotwheels gives its cars model names. My favorite hotwheels car ever was the Solaire CX4, a battered toy car that I somehow still have.   

       Too bad that car never existed in real life.

       This has been baked by a few custom car designers. I think all those cars were bought up by Hot Wheels, though, to put in their corporate headquarters building. I remember seeing a show on TLC about building one of these cars, a strange surfer-wagon pickup with the engine in the back, the passenger compartment way up front like in a VW Bus, and a cargo area in the middle.

       ummm, i think its called "pimp my ride", "Autozone" or any other car store or show.

craziness, Mar 08 2006
  

       The car's name is "Deora II", and the show is called "Rides". There is also a car named the "Twinmill".

       //pimp my ride// HE heh Heh. 'Un-pimp my ride.' 'You got an F' 'representing duetshland' ....   

       Did anyone see the mythbusters where they raced a hot wheels against a Viper on a downhill coast? I was amazed.
