    Those karts are pretty cool, but a real manly man would put grooved tires on his kart and race it on dirt.

    Let's see the Eurowunderman run the cushion right up against the wall at Eldora. We'll see what he is really made of then.

    Yeah, I can see it now... Batman racing after the Joker, then he gets into a one-way street that ends in a wall, and he has to stop and ask the Joker to wait so he can push the batmobile back.

    Novelty size knock-offs are so much easier to pull off than attempted recreations. Instead of folks saying "well, the real Tumbler® was powered by bla, bla, bla..." or "the LED sequence on that KITT replica is completely inaccurate" with novelty size stuff you get a free pass and they say stuff like "Saaa-weeeet! a mini Tumbler, I would soooo swap in a gixxer 1000 motor and rock that thing at the dunes" or "Holy crap, that guy's drag racing a 10 foot tall grocery cart." or "Dude, your head's bleeding".

    @TimTim wears black for our banned brethren: I believe this wins my nomination for COTD.
    I am almost confident enough to add your name to the spreadsheet before the official announcement.

    @mr_dude: Not so much anymore - it was the two years after undergrad when I was "finding myself" (i.e., working 4 hours a week and watching more tv between 1am and 6am than I care to admit). HOVEROUND! Hoveround hoveround...

    [Edit: I want to make it clear I was not living in my parents' basement - I had a nice house-sitting gig which meant I only had to earn enough money to buy food.]
