How did I miss this earlier this week? Take a tiny car, slow it down to about 1/10th normal speed, and all of a sudden it’s the greatest thing in at least a week. Nice drift at 1:40. I was also pleasantly surprised by that Nissan commercial from the other day — apparently RC cars are pretty cool in any context. Like the Micro Machines NES game. Racing around a kitchen table with Cheerios for lane boundaries is more thrilling than you’d think.
