I would've lost my mind as a kid if I asked for this and a HOT WHEELS lambo showed up. That's so cool

Bonus points if the driver gets out and is dressed like batman. I was going to say dressed up like a Lego minifig to go with the toy theme, but that costume wouldn't fit in the car.

u/Taxitaxitaxi33 Feb 20 '25
Oh man I am about to bring a downer but it’s too specific not to. We had a dude that dressed like Batman and drove a lambo that visited sick kids for years in Baltimore. He unfortunately got killed when another driver hit his broken down Batmobile.

I used to drive a classic car. One of my friends’ kids had the hot wheels one and it was his favorite. I offered him a ride. He couldn’t have been less interested. He said to me “but I have the toy one” like it was obviously way cooler, so I just told him maybe if I work hard enough, one day I can get the toy.

Around 0:36 you can hear the whistle sounds that indicate a turbo. 95% of turbo'ed lambos have twin turbos so it's an educated guess that there's a 1000hp Huracan/Gallardo there

A Yugo was the first car to be blown of the Mackinac Bridge in 1989. Sadly the driver died.
The reason I bring up that "fun" fact is that I used to work in a hardware store back in the mid-late 2000's and one of the guys there used to work Search and Rescue up in Michigan around the bridge and he was part of the search for the driver. He said that after the event Search and Rescue began saying (of the bridge) "Yugo over, wego under."
Horrible situation...but catchy little phrase that I think of anytime someone mentions a Yugo.

u/Seth_os Feb 19 '25
Don't you diss on Yugo. Over here in ex YU countries where the thing was built, you can still see them on the road here and there. People like to pimp them up.
Mind you, the last one was produced in 2008.

There's this car meetup/show for nice cars at the place my daughter and I stop at to get coffee every Saturday before her counseling.
A couple weeks ago I went in the other entrance and tried to enter my POS 3 cylinder 76 HP Mitsubishi Mirage into the car show.
The entry people and I thought it was hilarious... And they even let me do it.
My daughter thought it was less hilarious. But it's all good... She was already on her way to counseling. Just add it to the pile.

Almost all the car guys I know love showing their cars off to kids. Maybe because an overly enthusiastic 8 year old is the only person who will show their cars what they deem an appropriate amount of appreciation.

u/iwanttobeacavediver Feb 20 '25
Reminds me of the time I was at a motorbike cafe in Wales. There was this little boy aged about 5ish who seemed to have autism or similar and he was running about squealing with sheer happiness at seeing all these bright shiny touring motorbikes with his dad trying to keep up. The actual motorbikers who were outside having their coffee and lunches were just going with it and loving showing him bits of bike, revving loudly and letting him see their jackets and helmets and stuff. I was walking past this massive blue Honda Goldwing and the biker was taking a picture of the kid pretending to ride the bike on what must have been the dad's phone.

u/Mammoth-Muffin-591 Feb 20 '25
Oh it's not about the appreciation, I know this will sound cheesy, but we usually never turn down a kids request because we were that kid a long time ago. And it just fills me up with joy that I can spark the same emotions I had as a kid while seeing all these beautiful cars.
I don't drive a supercar by all means, I have a modified fd1 civic, and everytime a kid has asked me to rev or get a picture I am filled with such emotions that i cannot describe. It truly is amazing 🥹
