Traxxas
Traxxas is a radio control model manufacturer based in McKinney, Texas, in the United States, offering electric and nitro powered cars (on-road and off-road), boats, and aircraft for drivers of all skill levels. Traxxas' slogan is "The Fastest Name in Radio Control".
Company history
Traxxas was founded in 1986, with the goal of offering fully assembled hobby level radio control that could be run right out of the box with little or no assembly, an idea that was new at the time. Traxxas now refers to these models as "RTR", or "Ready To Race". Starting in 1987, Traxxas began selling a series of electric powered stadium truck and buggy models. In 1989, Traxxas released its first radio-controlled boat, the Villan IV. In 1992, Traxxas released its first RTR nitro model, the Nitro Hawk. In 1996, Traxxas released its first RTR nitro boat model, the Nitro Vee. In 1999, Traxxas released its first full sized monster truck model, the T-Maxx. And in November 2012 Traxxas launched its first aircraft products, the ready-to-fly DR-1 Helicopter and QR-1 Quadcopter.

Turquoise House
by: Jim WhiteI'll never fit in so why should I try?
How I'm I ever gonna pass for a normal guy?
I can't wear no suit and tie, gotta let my freak flag fly
If I walk the straight and narrow one more day I think I'll die
Because I wanna live in a turquoise house
With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
Now faith is a riddle and love is a dream
Things are seldom what they seem
If you say your prayers at night and comb your hair just right
You might not feel like you're in hell but then again you might
Me, I wanna live in a turquoise house
With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
I want turquoise carpets and turquoise shoes
Turquoise papers with all the turquoise news
Turquoise only, not teal or aquamarine
I've seen my future and it's a shade of blueish green
Now I can't turn back, there ain't no way
(He's going turquoise today)
When word gets out there'll be hell to pay
(He's going turquoise today)
This life's not for the faint
But you can't be what you ain't
I know I'll never truly be myself
Till I get me that turquoise paint
Because I wanna live in a turquoise house
With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
I wanna live in a turquoise house
With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
A turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
A turquoise girl in a turquoise dress
And a skirt and a shirt
