Crash, Bang, Laugh. Money well spent!

Being the father of 5 children, I am acutely aware of the way toy companies promote their products via packaging to attract a little ones attentions. They show scenes of great stunts and skills. Actions that the toys themselves never would be able to actually do. This, however, is NOT one of those toys. This product delivers. One of my children is a 3 yo that is ALL boy. He likes loud noises, dirt, crashes, and of course, plains, trains, and automobiles! This toy delivers all it promises, once you "slam" the button on top it hauls off at a pretty good pace, it makes LOUD engine noises as it drives off, and it can make its jump with the ramp included. Not only that but it can travel up to 15 feet with one slam! Which means when my son hits that button, he has to chase that car down to do it again, and he is giggling all the while as it is crashing into cones or whatever else he has decided makes a good obstacle. Carpet, hardwood, it doesn't seem to matter what surface you put this on, it's going to do what it does best and GO! My wife and I have already put away another one of these cars just in case this one bites the dust, but from what I see we won't need it for a long time. If you have a kid that loves to play with "fast cars" this is a must!
