I was a big Speed Racer fan. I wanted to own the Mach 5. Did you catch SNL's TV Funhouse send up of Speed Racer. Apparently some NASCAR guys were pickin a fight with the crew. They had Chim Chim in a craze state. Suddenly a Pokemon character comes in and massacres the NASCAR boys.
One of the radio talk show guys here had a Mach 5 built... and two 60's vintage Batmobiles.
Have you ever seen the Dexter's Laboratory spoof of Speed Racer? I hurt my spleen laughing at that.
