I`ve heard some of the characters voices on monster movies on the order of Godzilla. I got to thinking about the show and remember most of the characters. Speed Racer, his older brother Rex (alias Racer X), his dad Pops, his mom, his bratty little brother Spritle and his pet monkey Chim-Chim. There was also the machanic, Sparky, and Speed`s girlfriend Trixie. Then I made the fatal mistake of remembering all the added features of the MACH 5. I`ve come up with 6, but I`m sure there`s at least 1 or 2 more. I came up with: 1. infrared headlights 2. automatic jacks - come in handy in jumping over things 3. a glass convertible top which allowed him to drive under water 4. a periscope - great for under water driving 5. a pair of circular saws that came out in front of the car 6. mini-wings - I`m not sure about this one Can anyone tell me what feature(s) I`ve missed?
