    That video is pretty dam impressive when you think of what goes into something like that. How do you think this thing would react if you kick it?

    that thing is ****in sweet. i want to ride it.
    the ridiculous thing is, the reaction it had to being kicked seemed so realistic, i might even feel bad about giving it a boot...like i almost squeezed out an incling of sympathy for it just watching that part of the video. altho the thing never shuts the **** up..if i had to listen to that shit for an hour ide probably be ready to kick its ****in ass too.
