    Man, that makes me want to build a slot car track. Would somebody like to notify my wife that the basement will be off limits.

    The funny thing is, I saw this EXACT same thing done at the Auto Show here in Vancouver 2-3 years ago by Suzuki. The little kart fell off the track and left a HUGE gash in the side of the door.

    Kinda like buying an any wagon. Don't say a word about it until you are home.

    "Is that a wagon?"

    How about a volumetric test which would be a wee bit more interesting: 1,950 liters of expanding foam injected into that station wagon sealed up tight.

    why do people get paid (im guessing a pretty good amount of money) to be filmed building a slot car track and why do i still wait tables?
