Out of the 10 grand children we have I'll bet one of them would like a Mustang to drive.

I'm thinking about getting one these for my daughter - she wants to take it to car shows to put next to my car.
WalMart sells these for around $250

A word of warning...in person they don't look nearly as good as they do in the pics. The one in their pics has been painted and detailed. In reality it's molded in color that's not as bright nor as glossy. Of course they're still loads of fun for the kiddos...

Heh, my 4 year old niece has had one for some time. We took the little speed control screw out and glued some rubber strips to the rear tires for more traction, so she has drag radials and a tune....My brother stuck a Summit racing sticker on it and she told him to take off the dumb sticker He used to disconnect the battery but now she just pops the hood and reconnects it.

We've had one since the spring. Still keep the speed control screw in so I can keep up with this serious driver.

We gave my 6 year old one for her birthday - we had it waiting for her at a local car show as a surprise for her. She showed it off to everyone that walked by.

These cars are cool - they spin the tires just like the big cars!

Looks like she's asking where the battery is

I have to keep my son's unplugged. Otherwise he would be banging into my car in the garage, and we don't want to go there

We left the battery out at the show so she wouldn't drive into a car.

She was lifting the hood to make it look like my car with the hood up. She would invite people over to look at her car and then have them look at my car.

When I was a little kid (physically) I had a powerwheels jeep. My dad stuffed two full-sized automotive batteries into it in parallel. The thing was almost faster than a bicycle. Wiring had to be redone after a while, though. Nothing like fried wiring to kill braincells...but at least I know where my speed-craving came from.

Question:

My little guy's 2nd B-Day is this coming Sunday. I would LOVE to get him a black one to match Dad's.....however, he is pretty tall for his age. 38"

Will he be too big??

I have seen several parents comment on the Toyz R Us page, complaining that the car is too small. My guy is already the size of a 3-4 year old in weight/height. Just wondering if he'll fit in it ok. At $300, I would like him to at least get a full year out of it, or more.

Thanks
