Imagine you’re a little kid again, and you’re in the Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts/whatever the hell kid group you were a part of that dressed you up in “future mailmen of America” looking uniforms and sent you door to door selling crap no one wanted to friends your parent’s didn’t really like.

One of the big events in those badge-achieving mini whores had to get involved with every year was (at least in my town) called the “Pinewood Derby”. This is where you were given a block of wood and some plastic circles and were told to make a car out of it. The “cars” would then be placed on a track and pointed downward. Fastest one to the bottom wins…. I think another badge. Greedy badge-achieving whores….

My guess is, someone was a really big fan of the derby designs, and they’re making adult sized versions. The concept is genuine, in that it is more of a true hippy hybrid using “human power”. I know. I KNOW! But, please…. save your gas jokes.

It’s human powered because you steer it by leaning your body, you can go up to 60 MPH without using gas, and it is powered by people rowing.

In the worst way imaginable, I want to buy this for Anthony.
