GoPro camera captures what it's like to drive a Hot Wheels car

[Shawn Knight]

Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars were – and still are – a part of millions of kids’ childhoods. Much of the fun associated with the pint-sized vehicles involves imagining what it might be like to be in the driver’s seat during a wild off-road adventure, catching some major air or simply whizzing across the kitchen table.

Over the summer, YouTube user 5MadMovieMakers published an incredible “Road Trip” video that involved strapping a GoPro camera to a Hot Wheels car and following it on chaotic journey through backyards, sand boxes and even a swimming pool (thanks to the magic of editing, of course).

Seeking to outdo itself, the channel has now posted a “Hot Wheels Stunts” video in which we’re taken for a ride on a mini car as it performs all sorts of aerial acrobatics. If you loved the previous clip, you’ll surely appreciate this one as well (I know I sure did).

Found is a TechSpot feature where we share clever, funny or otherwise interesting stuff from around the web.

The things you can do when you are financially well off.

Where's the clip where someone's father steps on the car, swears up a storm, and tosses it across the room?

It's not like you will be set a couple thousands off while doing this "crazy" hot wheels roads =P the session is $200 and the sets used maybe a hundred at most?

All it takes is a bit of imagination =)

You mean "when your folks are well off, you are jobless and have nothing better to do". Nevertheless the clip was pretty cool, well at least I thought so.

It also captures what is like to live in a million dollar house.

I used to experience all that in a 1st person perspective from the passenger seat of the car when my wife used to drive.

Don't know what is worse, he is tied financially in both circumstances.

Nah, I was just pulling her leg, she was a good driver while she drove. I was just teasing her and she didn't think I would post that comment.
