I bought a TOY today


I bought a TOY today

Postby eminefes » Oct 7, 2004 @ 4:10am

The last time I bought something like this was probably in elementary school or middle school.

Anyways, I bought a Zip Zap from Radio Shack, and I must say it's very cool. It's a little hotwheels-sized RC car that has some nice features, such as a proportional controller, working head lights and tail lights, and the ability to make modications (change motors, gears, tires, wheels, bodies). I bought the Starsky and Hutch starter pack as well as the Muscle Car kit. The Muscle Car kit came with a 1970 Boss Mustang body and a Hemi Cuda body, along with faster gears, faster motors, and more tires and rims. Naturally, I took the Mustang body and installed the fastest motor and the fastest gear, and then let the kitten out so she could chase it. :D Hah, at first she was afraid of it, but after a few minutes she began to chase it around. The car went pretty damn fast for such a little thing, too, and at top speed it got to be a bit unstable (hit a slit bump in the floor and bam it's gone), so I changed the motor to the next fastest one. I have wooden floors in a couple areas of my house, so I have a decent amount of room to play with it.

Anyways, just thought I'd say how fun these little things are. :P
Two cupcakes were in an oven. One turned to the other and said "Damn, it sure is hot in here" and the other one said "HOLY SHIT! A TALKING CUPCAKE!"

Those things are so fun! They are also the first toy I've bought in a long time, and I'm only a sophmore. I got a yellow Corvette. It's all stock though.
