I Draw The Line At Toilet Car

The American Dream

I don’t know about you. I’m all for personal growth and doing things for the simple enjoyment of doing things, but a line in the sand must be drawn. Some things are just flat out retarded.

A family in Colorado will never again have to worry about toilet breaks on the road after designing a twin-bowl toilet car. It took four years and three prototypes for Dave Hersch to perfect his design, inspired by a small ‘Hot Wheels’ toy car. It features a 6.5hp motor capable of driving two adults at 30mph and holds six toilet rolls and a magazine rack.

4 years, folks. It took us 9 to get to the moon. Something tells me that 4 years is not one hell of a feat. It would be a feat if the person that it took to build it 4 years was Tom Hanks on the island in Cast Away. People get university degeres in 4 years. This guy secured a toilet to a go-kart. He must work as expeditiously as water eroding rock.

The current model was built to be foolproof. Adults take photos and kids jump up and down with excitement. It’s a great way to meet all the people in my neighbourhood without all the typical grown-up formalities.

Foolproof, but not idiot proof. What neighborhood do you live in? Is it at the corner of Magic Kingdom and Shutter Island?
