Pete's Expert Summary
My human seems to have acquired a collection of small, metal effigies shaped like horseless carriages. According to the loud packaging, these are "CarTuned" vehicles, a series of eight classic Chevrolets made by MGA Entertainment. They boast about their "collector quality," with heavy metal bodies, real rubber tires, and shiny chrome details. Frankly, they sound like dust-gatherers for a display shelf. However, their significant weight—over 40 grams—and smooth-rolling capability could have potential. A light, flimsy object is an insult, but a weighty one that can be satisfyingly batted across the hardwood floor might just be worth waking up for. The crucial question is whether these are meant for admiring or for skidding under the sofa.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The Unboxing was, as usual, a ceremony of profound indifference on my part. The human peeled back the plastic with an irritating crinkle, revealing a line-up of eight gleaming beetles. They weren't toys; they were an invasion. They sat motionless on the Persian rug, a silent, polished gang that had just moved onto my turf. I observed them from the arm of the sofa, my tail giving a slow, judgmental twitch. They reeked of factory paint and metal, not the promising scent of catnip or leather. An utter waste of perfectly good cardboard. I descended with the deliberate grace of a monarch inspecting new subjects. I circled the perimeter of their formation. A low-slung, dark green one—the '47 Fleetline, the box called it—had a quiet, menacing air. A bright red '63 Corvette seemed twitchy, poised for a fight. They were heavy, I could tell. Substantial. Their "Kandy coated" paint was so smooth it looked wet, and the chrome trim caught the afternoon sun, sending distracting glints into my eyes. This was clearly a challenge. My test subject would be the '69 Camaro. It was an obnoxious shade of orange and had an arrogant, "slammed stance." I extended a single, perfect white paw and gave it a firm, exploratory shove. I expected it to tumble or skid sideways. Instead, the rubber tires gripped the rug for an instant and then it shot forward in a dead-straight, impossibly smooth line. It was like a miniature torpedo, silent and swift. It traveled a good six feet before coming to a soft stop against the leg of a credenza. There was no cheap, plastic rattle. Just a muted, dignified *thump*. I sat back on my haunches, considering. The Camaro rested in the distance, its job done. The others hadn't moved. They understood. This wasn't a game of chase. This was a demonstration of physics, and I was the catalyst. They were not my enemies, nor were they my playthings. They were my instruments. When I next felt the urge to express my displeasure at a closed door or an empty food bowl, I would not need to vocalize it. I would simply dispatch one of these heavy, silent messengers to announce my presence with a satisfying thud against the offending barrier. They would do.
