Childhood Flashbacks: Super Slot Cars



Yea, I know the video is titled super slot cars, and its like a bunch of German engineering whiz's operating this bad larry, but does anyone actually think that track is cooler than some of the shit from the early 90's that I so desperately lobbied my parents to install in our basement? 

Consider my very first electric car track:
Pretty simple right? And not that much different than Klaus and Hans over here are expecting us all to marvel at...No shit you guys can make a fast slot car track, you're adults! I used to put that thing together every day after school for like 6 months, NBD (no big deal), I was EIGHT! I even built one later on (that I sadly can find no trace of on the internet for some reason) that had a gigantic upside down loop with a open gap in the middle of it...that's right the cars flew for a micro second, while upside down...And it's not like I was some child prodigy or anything, just a kid who knew how to snap together pieces of a plastic track.

Color me unimpressed about a bunch of adults creating suped up slot cars, don't even have an upside down loop. You guys probably work in the Porsche manufacturing plant, go make a real car.

PS: there is an absurd amount of slot car videos on youtube starring adults...what the fuck guys, I loved playing with these things as much as the next guy when I was a child, but I grew up. You guys still sucking down Sunny D's and chewing Airheads too?
