I'll say this: No boy particularly wanted to drive the Thunderbolt Grease-Slapper or the Turbo Terrific, but every boy wanted to drive the Mach 5.
Do you agree? Perhaps you back one of the other Wacky Racers. Big fan of Rufus Ruffcut, or the Gruesome Twosome? Slag Brothers? Dreamed of being in the Anthill Mob? Or perhaps you support the distaff side -- the Southern belle of the tight corners, Penelope Pitstop?
Maybe you're hopped up on Speed Buggy, or one of those weird Turbo Teen supporters. Perhaps you eschew auto racing entirely, and root instead for the skating speedsters, Bailey's Comets. We're a judgment-free auto zone here. (Okay, not really.)
Do you have a need for cartoon speed? Feel free to drop your vote in comments.
Wile E. Coyote with rocket powered roller skates was my favorite (though least successful) speedster.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember kids, when racing after a roadrunner using exploding skates, always wear a helmet!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about Speed Racer, though the line "Confused by Racer X" has Yvonne Elliman's "I Don't Know How To Love Him" echoing in my head.
