Forty-foot tall fire-breathing Robosaurus for sale

Wanted: good home for 31-ton robotic dinosaur, completely up-to-date on all immunizations and oil changes. This frisky 40-foot tall, fire-breathing bot answers to the name Robosaurus, and a traumatic youth spent crushing cars in front of thousands of rednecks means this guy needs a lot of love and attention -- along with plenty of open space to graze. All manuals, kits, and accessories are included with adoption, although new owner will assume responsibility for any damage caused by Robo's jaws and their 20,000 pounds of crushing force. Interested parties can bid on this one-of-a-kind companion at the 37th annual Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdate, AZ starting on the 12th.

[Thanks, jo]

You speak engrish?

Engadget, you should get an office pool together and buy this!

I think I saw this scene in Idiocracy.

So THAT's what caused the plane crash in LOST

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 6th 2008 4:41PM]

*Thinks to self*I wonder what it could do to the neighbors trailer...*Hmmmmm* :D

[crbphd Posted Jan 6th 2008 4:52PM]

I think it will be measured in gallons per mile, but I'm sure it depends on how much fire it breaths.

I go to the auction every year and its Scottsdale not Scottsdate.
It's the top of the chart in the US (and even on global scale) of the big $ car auction.

If I were to buy one of these. I would have no problem finding a parking space @ Best Buy or CircuitCity. ME WANT!

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY Posted Jan 6th 2008 9:23PM]

I'd be the first to buy it just so I could watch the roaring fear in the eyes of Al Gore. To see him roll on the ground like a paranoid schizophrenic in mental anguish at the sight of this thing in it's full petroleum blazing glory would be absolutely priceless.

[Jinxey Posted Jan 6th 2008 9:36PM]

That's all fine and dandy... But the true question is, Does it blend?

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY Posted Jan 6th 2008 11:52PM]

NO. The Robosuarus it's self doesn't blend. But it will blend a Ford with a Chevy.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 7th 2008 1:41PM]

Does it play Doom?

[monkeyontherun4 Posted Jan 7th 2008 9:57PM]

o man think of the traffic jams you could solve with this thing!!!

Truckasaurus has a cameo in an early season of the Simpsons

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 19th 2008 9:18PM]

Hehe,
Robosaurus just sold for 575K at the Barrett Jackson Auction. The guy who bought it seemed kinda confused after the whole thing was done...
