Cupcake Cars

For example, the cupcake car. This electric car runs on a 24 volt electric motor and battery and tops out at 7 miles per hour. These babies are actually for sale- if you want to spend $24,000. I think I would rather just eat a cupcake then drive one. Although, those hats they are wearing are real nice.
