that one would be a shoe-in for the top corny jokes of all time. Heck, if we were competing, I'd have it all laced up. Not like those other heels, my stuff has sole, you know what I mean? Just trying to stay one step ahead of the next guy. I gotta go, before they give me the boot...

Oh now you made me think. In Miami years ago their was a roller skating rink called Hot Wheels. As part of their advertising they had a couple of driving roller skates. Seeing the roach, it would have been a perfect scale like this one ...

Enjoy ..

I really wish I could see the pictures of this. I guess I will have to make a few posts first. I just mocked up a boattail idea on my '59 beetle, I would like to see this one to compare.

I wonder what his drag coefficient is now .


If I were him I wouldn't have left the cockpit exposed to the world. Of course he may wear a full face helmet to hide his face while driving.

Is that thing even street legal? i don't see reg plates or tail lights

D*^# I hate roaches. Only roach I liked had a leafy center and smelled funny
