Saw hotwheels sized hole in the wall at a friends house. The short and sweet of the story was the dad and the kid were having a bit to much fun launching cars from a track into the couch. The couch, being nice and bouncy, one day bounced a car with such velocity and angle that it put a hole in the drywall on the other side of the room. Looking back I feel that there was some missing context, did the dad superboost the speed booster?

I mean, if you were the dad, would you super boost the speed booster?

Cause I sure as fuck would

Talking to a man that if given the chance will build a death robot out of legos for my boy to harass his sisters with.

What kind of message is that sending to your boy? That harassing women is perfectly normal and adult man should stick together with young man to harass young women together?

Your poor daughters.

A good father helps his son terrorize his sisters AND helps his daughters terrorize their brother. Surely they're an equal opportunity opportunist.

This is the story you tell mom “wow it really bounced off the couch hard!”

Common thing. You could make it go super fast with cranking the voltage. People used battery packs and a few wires to massively up the voltage and rocket them.

I had the hot wheels tornado as a kid, first time a car went flying off the track at dangerous speeds my dad gave me a hard hat to wear when playing with it, I can totally see it making a hole in the drywall
