Flash Rod: USB Flash Drive Built into a Toy Car

flashrod.pngTo those of you who wouldn’t be caught dead with a Hello Kitty flash drive, say Vroom! for Flash Rods. The 4GB flash drives are patched into toy cars — some of which are Hot Wheels. Even with the USB end sticking out like a gigantic tailpipe, the car rolls like any other unmodified Hot Wheels car. A light comes on inside the Flash Rod when plugged in and while data is being transferred.

There are over 90 different cars available, including the ’55 Chevy, ’67 Mustang, New Camaro, 2010 Mustang GT500, and even a silver DeLorean. Each car is priced at $25. If that seems like a huge markup for what used to be a child’s toy, consider that each individual FlashRod is assembled by hand.

If the flash drive is too tame, FlashRod also sells external hard drives (500 GB Seagate drives). Models include Audi R8, Nissan GT-R, ’10 Camaro, and Dodge Challenger.

Happy driving!
