Look at the wheels! The symmetry! The little snub nose! Somebody’s kid, you just know, was absolutely obsessed with these things and wore their parent down until finally mom or dad was like fine, FINE, I will make you a hedgehog. (A super fast hedgehog that you can race with, cause it’s on wheels.)
