I wish I was Speed Racer…

How cool does this look?

I remember being that kid in the back of the class dreaming about cars…

Do you remember the Mach 5 gadget-laden steering wheel? Eight buttons providing pure tech-heaven with 5,000HP.

  • A:  Pushing this button set off the automatic jacks for instant repair jobs.  It was also used to strategically cause the car to jump when needed. 
  • B: This controlled the tire’s gripping abilities regardless of the surface. Flat, ice, water, the side of a building, etc.
  • C: Simply push this button when driving on lots of wood; this also controlled the two rotary saws hidden within the hood.
  • D: Very cool feature…creates a transparent bullet/crash proof cover over the top of the car. Also useful when going for an underwater drive.  
  • E: Night vision driving “lights” – also triggered the infrared lights in Speed Racer’s helmet.   
  • F: For those underwater jaunts; provides access to the oxygen tank, a periscope and an in-car video screen.
  • G: Homing Robot launcher. 
  • H: This calls the Homing Robot back to the hood of the car.

Can’t wait to take the kids to this flick. [That'll be my excuse.]
