My first word was "car".  Really.  So, of course, I had lots of toy cars.  Something like 150 Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars.

<p>I always liked the Matchbox cars better because they were more realistic.  After all, who ever saw a car with an engine towering out of the hood, sitting at a 10 degree angle with enormous slicks hangin out of the back. Now, I'm all for a wild hot rod, but come on, let's get real.  Those kind of hot rod toy cars bugged me because they just aren't possible.</p>

<p>I stand corrected.</p>

<p>Watch this Honda Civic CRX with a big block V8 and learn.  <a href="http://www.edroth.com/">Big Daddy Roth</a> would be proud.</p>

<p>Hat tip: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/31/video-nothing-very-civic-minded-about-this-big-block-crx/">Autoblog</a>.  Oh, and there's another video walk around of this thing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH2VQAy2oCc&NR">here</a>.</p>]]>

<p>I apologize in advance for the poor angle:</p>
