Ever wonder what a racetrack large enough to have 1,200 Hot Wheels running around at the same time would look like? This. Also, please please please start wondering bigger. I dunno, about naked women or something, you’re depressing me. Wondering about giant Hot Wheels tracks . *facepalm* Now this is art. It’s the Metropolis II installation by Chris Burden at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and it looks amazing. The fully-automated and gigantic track features 1,200 cars and 13 toy trans (sic) zipping around quickly, over and over again. Oh snap, the LACM is right down the street from me — I’ll have to go check it out sometime. Anybody wanna get in on my field trip? There’s like 30 bars on the way too. Plus — PLUS — the La Brea Tar Pits . Best field trip ever? You bet your sweet ass. Suck it, Colonial Williamsburg! Hit the jump for the car racing in action.

Apparently this Hot Wheels Invisible Jet toy began life as an April Fools’ joke but I don’t remember hearing about it because I don’t even know if I remembered to take my vitamins this morning. At any rate, it became a Comic-Con exclusive and suckers lined up to pay $5 for the empty box (it just looks like there’s a plane inside because of the molded plastic packaging), and now the things are selling like hotcakes on eBay. I swear, people will collect anything . Which reminds me. Hello, Japan? I’m in the market for some — how should I put this — orn-way anties-pay . Huh? Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. WORN PANTIES DAMMIT! YOU’VE GOT EM AND I WANT EM! eBay Listings via Hot Wheels Wonder Woman Invisible Jet Now on eBay [uberreview]
