You pulverized the Nitro, but now it's time to build more of that muscle using the Nitro.
Nitro muscles are good for nitro pulverizing
That many stickers on small tiles and plates?
I think I just had a nosebleed.
This is where 4-wide cars belong.

Blocked and reported
It looks like a mini version of 10265 from far away.
The sticker-per-part ratio on this set is probably over 9000.
I'm pretty sure I bought like 8 of these (or something very similar) as the easiest way to get the windshield pieces in bulk for a modification to extend the Horizon Express cars... good times!
Not to be confused with 8146 Nitro Muscle.

Sure, you can report me, but I’m not sure “offended that someone has a differing opinion” is going to get you anywhere. And I’ve seen a few posts mention the lack of a blocking function, so I’m not sure why you’re even claiming that.
I miss tiny turbos

I’m pretty sure it was a joke, in response to your joke.
@Sam_A_Rama:
I’ve built a couple. I made a Dodge RT/10 Viper in six different colors, and a standard Pizza Planet truck. I’m hoping to make some from Brave and The Good Dinosaur in the same scale someday.
It’s odd, I was a die cast car fanatic as a toddler. Hot wheels, matchbox, you name it, but I could never get into Tiny Turbos. You’d think otherwise?
Wow.. That is a LOT of stickers for what amounts to a poly bag car.
Methinks that 'muscle' has some atrophy...still, it was neat when TLG tried to make Lego 'Hot Wheels', which is funny: Hot Wheels is making 'Lego'...seriously look-up their 'Ride-On' series, and also 'Custom Small Block' and 'Bricking Trails' in their cars, they're not bad...
Honestly, I'm fine with a lot of small stickers. Just don't do those huge ones or "Sticker over Assembly". (Ofc prints are superior)
“Do you guys just add ‘nitro’ onto the front of everything?”
-Scott Lang…paraphrased
@brick_r: I love the Hot Wheels that are compatible with Lego, I've got a bunch. I'm particularly fond of the one named "Let's Go."

I miss them too, I'd love a line of F1 cars or something these days!

Loved an admired?
I must say that the Tiny Turbos started to blend together a bit at this time. There's not much to it that says: this is the 2010 wave!
@Jendajenda:
In a non-minifig theme where they can be somewhat realistically proportioned, rather than looking like a death trap that would make even Mr. Bean turn up his nose.
