That's alright, I did picture for a moment that it was a female Stig, only it would be Azula under the helmet.

Then I thought about it some more and realized she'd be too tempted to roast the three of them after one too many jokes at her expense.

Or given a lap with the Reasonably Priced Car.

At any moment now, there is going to be a horrible accident.

(It all depends on whether Toph's "radar sense" works through rubber.)

They did send a blind man through once.

Granted, he'd been a rally driver before he lost his sight, but still.

"Yes, and it was glorious."

It doesn't work through shoes, so I tend to doubt it'd work through a car.

Camera at the start/finish line records the screeching of tires, followed shortly by first the crunching and then scraping of metal as the Reasonably Priced Car skids across the line on its top.

And she's crossed the line! God Almighty!

Uh...does that still count?

CORWIN: I think it only counts if you actually drive the car, Toph.

Corwin: "You should probably turn the engine on!"
Toph: "Not enough padding on the seat! I'd lose track of where I was if the engine was shaking."
Corwin: "...carry on then."

"Some say the first development of extraspatial technology--oft referred to as "hammerspace" for reasons the modern galaxy doesn't remember, was conducted in the trunk of a '76 Highwayman. The technology...was not an unqualified success. To this day, they say, there should exist somewhere in spacetime a motley collection of 21st century parts, tools, camping gear, at least one highly radioactive fusion core, and even a few ancient laser or chemical slugthrower weapons.

No one's found them yet, though. The Highwayman swallowed everything put into it whole, with neither warning nor complaint."

We had thought, at one starry-eyed point, that the car would be something that you could upgrade with more speed, armor, weapons, etc. and that it could be a more important part of the game—well, the engine and programmer tasking weren't up to the idea of having a moving vehicle (madness, I know ;) in the game so all of that went out the window. The power source was replaced by a much more mundane 22 cubic feet of cargo-space (more than any non-wagon vehicle in its class!).

So basically, the Highwayman's powerplant was downsized in order to meet with People's State of California emissions standards. It's often the case that a prototype car isn't exactly the same when it goes into production."
