I remember how i use to have like a million "Hot Wheels" cars with huge tracks, i use to always wonder, "What if i was in this little car, going up and down the tracks, how would it feel?". Well, in this video you are about to see, this guy definitely knows how it feels. Every kid who's ever launched a Hot Wheels car across the floor or off a table will have a special appreciation for Tanner Foust's record jump in a life-size Hot Wheels car.

 

Foust, who was recently revealed as the driver of the Team Hot Wheels Yellow Car, broke the record for a jump by a four-wheeled vehicle with a mark of 332 feet (101 Meters) prior to this past weekend's Indy 500. He bested the previous record of 301 feet set by Johnny Greaves in 2009.

 

If it wasn't already clear, "Top Gear" co-host Foust has some major cajones. He not only jumped a football field in a car, but he did it in a life-size toy car made for kids. Can you imagine fighting a life-size Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot? The beginning of Foust's attempt dropped him 90 feet--or 10 stories--down an orange track before he went airborne. Someone ought to check Tanner's pants for pee. Maybe that's why it's the Yellow Car.

    Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha

    More aliens on Earth?

    "Scientists Just Discovered a Creature That Breaks the Rules of Life". I mean, that's quite the headline.  Sukunaarchaeum mirabile is also quite the name to pronounce. But yes, that's the name of a recently discovered organism that apparently challenges the traditional scientific definition of 'life'.  There's a fair bit of scientific jargon to sieve through, but the quick summary is this: Cells are considered "alive" because of their ability to self-replicate and reproduce, whereas vi
