I (I mean Santa) gave my son one for Christmas year before last. He loved it. It will last forever. They are kind of expensive ($750.00), but they can be found at www.bergtoys.com.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[decimon]

Yeah, but that’s all-electric, not hybrid.

[edzo4]

you have to pedal it...

Et tu, Enzo?

It's a shame they didn't attach some large, powerful magnets to Enzo before his burial. Some copper windings around his coffin would combine with Enzo's current spinning condition to generate enough power to light up all of Maranello.

No, it won't.

Hybrid doesn’t have to mean slow and boring. Lexus actually uses the hybrid tech to make the car much faster.

Hybrid doesn’t hafta mean slow and boring, and Democrat doesn’t hafta mean short-sighted and emotional, but they almost always do.
