So I'm heading out to the store the other day and find a fun little box sitting on my table containing the awesome car in the picture above. Of course the kid in me said "Open and play now" and the adult in me said "Take it out of the box since the box is wet and wait until you're done shopping". So, the kid won to begin with and I immediately removed it from the box and checked to see what batteries I needed to be able to play.
So I went and grabbed several packs of batteries. This little toy takes 5 AA batteries to function so I bought extra knowing how much we'd play with it. I rushed home and added the batteries to the controller and hooked the car up to the controller to charge. While all this was going on the biggest kid in the house (of course the man) decided to briefly skim the directions and bounce staring at the car as if the extra energy from his gaze would charge the car faster.
Eventually I gave in and we unplugged the car, turned the remote on, and started playing while there were no kids around to take it from us (let's face it, sometimes the real reason we have toys around the house is so parents can play). We watched as this little car zoomed from place to place, spun around in circles, and eventually lodged itself so far under my bed that we had to grab a hockey stick to pull it back to safety. Then we pushed the button.
In the center of the remote is a button that allows the car to do whatever trick it's designed to do. In our case the car flips over repeatedly. You see, on the other side of the car is another awesome car. Instant love. This car is awesome and now I want the other's to trick with (there are 3 different cars each with a different built-in trick). I think I just may have to go get them since the three of us could all play with our cars on in the same room with different frequencies. Nothing says family bonding like trying to run one another over with R/C cars.
