ZipZaps !

Ford Mustang GT-500 ZipZapFord Mustang GT-500 ZipZap

We're a little late on the trend, but Radio Shack just recently put these micro remote control cars on sale. These things are fantastic! And if you've played with these before, you may have not seen them when they came out with the ZipZaps SE series. They're faster and have working headlights and taillights! My car is the 1967 Shelby Ford Mustang GT-500 (It's 'Eleanor' from Gone in 60 Seconds).

Well, at our last poker game, the ZipZaps took over. That is, until they were banned from the table.

They're interrupting the game !

Well, after our poker game was completed at around 5 in the morning, it was time to set up our first race track, complete with an infrared lap counter.

There were some pileups since our cars were always out of control. The action was intense!

How cool are the lights?

Sportin' the headlights...and tail lights.

So, when are you going to get yours?

Lara, you get three gold stars in my book.

Impressive indeed. She surprises me all the time.

By the way, if you look at the picture Subaru, you'll notice that the RC car is not AWD. The rear wheels are spinning. Guess they can't be perfect.

Lara, I'm ready for the matchup. Bring it on!

3 gold stars!? i think that is the biggest award i've been given in quite a while. =)

russ, i actually noticed the rear spin. how can you not with those freakin' awful rims? egad, every time i see one of the electric blue STI's roll by with gold rims, i flinch. ick.

now then...i gotta get a car so we can get this party started!
