What "it" is...
Had you guys heard about this? The inventor of this device applied for a bunch of patents for it about a year ago, but no one would release any info on what it was or did. Not even a name, it's just been called "it."
Well, here "it" is... http://www.howstuffworks.com/ginger.htm

With my luck I'd end up hitting a raccoon (again) and flipping the thing after all...

"To move forward or backward on the Segway, the rider just leans slightly forward or backward. To turn left or right, the rider moves controls on the left or right handlebar. But no matter what the rider does, the thing won't tip over. Since it responds to the slightest leaning motion, the Segway moves almost effortlessly -- it's a lot like walking.: I bet you would find a way to roll that thing, right Heep? :hehe:

So how fast would it have to go to keep balance if you were leaning with your face 2 inches from the road? I'd like to take that thing to a top speed track

 Now lets see U$ 3000 = ~ NZ$ 7000 for that you can actually buy a reasonably decent car..nothing flash but something like a Mazda MS-8 Efini V6. Lets see. Car vs a funny ridiculous looking "vehicle" thats bound to get people (at least me) pointing and laughing... Ummm..this is a hard one...
