Default get this for your kid!

Might be dup, but i'm going to risk it. Looks like so much fun i want one.

***Edit. I am so getting my kids one of these - look at his skills! At 43 seconds in, he actually countersteered to correct his slide! Truely more fun that a barrel full of monkeys...

Now that was damn cute to see that little boy making 360 degree turns. And, pretty fast, too! Wonder if it has CLB and erratic fuel gauge issues (LOL)? Needs to be neoned, slammed, Zainoed, and, hood sealed for a few more hp's. Thanks for sharing.

that kid can drive too hahaha. 'bout the neighbor washing his car too, i think this one is funny: one of my best friends happens to live next to one of my corvette buddies. for christmas the corvette buddy gave my friends kid a C5 pedal car. she pushes it around, plays with it etc....well (bob is the 'vette buddy) when she's done with playing with the car she takes a towel and goes to wiping it down. apparently bob taught her well, that everytime the vette gets out it gets a wipe down. she dusts it all off, tires etc. and she's only 2.

Now if my son drove a toy car like that, I'd definitely be signing a waiver saying he will NOT be driving my car. Of course, if he gets his own Corvette...........
