It’s funny to watch Corvettes on Memphis roads (notorious for potholes). They come almost to a complete stop, slowly roll into and out of the pothole then speed on to the next. Which is never far away.

They’re still some of the neatest cars out there, but not for Memphis.

That’s a great design!

For a Hot Wheels car that costs $0.79.

“Digital cameras have a delay.”

How much?

Using my phone camera on the TV I see no difference in the lip synching.

In the last year Hot Wheels car prices exceeded $1.00. They were $1.00 since inception. They have cheapened them a lot though.
