Racing frantically through breakfast every morning will be easier now with the help of little cars and trucks made out of waffles.
CucinaPro has come out with a cool new way to fuel your day–a waffle maker that turns your favorite pancake batter into little Hot Wheels looking waffles.
It works just like a normal, boring old waffle maker. Pour the batter into the non-stick molds and, then, vrooom! A plateful of fun that will wake you out of your Ford siesta.
After you pop them out of the garage–er, waffle maker–you’ll see seven different makes and models to butter and syrup.
As you can imagine, the appliance speedily sold out on Amazon where the Cars & Trucks Waffle Maker was listed for $42.95.
But don’t let that drive you away. Get on the list so you’ll be able to enter the expressway to morning fun as soon as it becomes available again.
I mean… what kid wouldn’t love this? Wait… what PERSON wouldn’t love this? These are insanely cool!
If cars aren’t your thing, you can also get a dinosaur maker. Either way, the reviews of both makers are excellent with some users advising cooking spray to ensure all the little shapes emerge perfectly.
Rumor has it the company tried to make a motorcycle waffle maker but the pancakes wouldn’t stay right side up. They were…two tired.
Okay, so that was horrible… but I want to see you do better. Tell me your favorite joke in the comments!

Audi had to use more durable horns in Indian-market cars, as their normal horns would have been unable to cope with the amount of honking Indian drivers do.
During the Bosnian War, a 1979 Chevy Camaro was updated with state of the art equipment by US Military and was used to take much needed supplies to civilians.

If you haven’t heard of it, the Cannonball is a race from New York to Los Angeles that racing aficionados are constantly trying to win. There are no official rules or regulations because…well, it’s pretty much illegal; in order to break the record for the fastest cross-country time, you have to break a whole lot of traffic laws.
Just like the movie The Cannonball Run, remember?
But the fact that it’s illegal doesn’t stop people from trying to break that illustrious record all the time. And some guys in a 2015 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG just demolished the previous record, in place since 2013, by driving from New York to L.A. in 27 hours and 25 minutes.
The previous record? 28 hours and 50 minutes.
The two drivers, Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt, and their “spotter,” Berkeley Chadwick, left the east side of Manhattan at 12:57 A.M. on November 10 and reached Redondo Beach, California in literal record time.

They drove on I-80 through Nebraska, took I-76 to Denver, I-70 to the middle of Utah, and then took I-15 to Southern California’s interstate system. They drove a grand total of 2,825 miles, and Toman and Tabbutt averaged a very illegal 104 miles per hour during the journey. Incredibly, they managed to spend only 22-and-a-half minutes on fuel stops. I’m assuming they ate and went to the bathroom in the car.
Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
The group was obsessed with beating the previous record, so they outfitted the car with a custom-fabricated fuel cell and all kinds of electronic gadgets. Berkeley Chadwick acted as the spotter using gyro-stabilized binoculars to look out for police.
Here’s a cool video about the newly-broken record.
Let’s see how long this record stands…
