Nothing can stop…THE ANIMAL!

Posted on October 28, 2004 @ 2:39 pm

I had a dream last night about one of my favorite childhood toys — a battery-powered truck called “The Animal.” Of course, The Animal was no ordinary truck. You see, when the going got tough, a set of claws (not unlike those of a mountain lion) would pop out of The Animal’s tires to give it the traction it needed to conquer any terrain. The photos below (courtesy of X-Entertainment) show The Animal’s claw-tire technology in action.

Cool, huh? The dream also raised an intriguing question. Why hasn’t the automobile industry latched onto this idea and implemented it on actual vehicles? If you could slap some claw-tires on an SUV, package it with XM satellite radio, and engineer it to get at least six miles per gallon, I’d imagine the “security moms” of the world would eat it up with a spoon…
