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. |
|
|
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. |

Some of the craziest Hot Wheels designs were inspired by
Big Daddy Roth (creator of 'Rat Fink'), who really did build
cars like that <hot-rod link-in>. Some have gone so far as
to suggest that he was the inspiration for Hot Wheels cars
altogether, but I can't cite a source for that. He was
certainly an iconic figure for a huge international
subculture. |
