Filthy rich, but don't feel like buying your 5-year old a real Porsche just yet? Perhaps one of these will suffice for now. Vroooooomm...

Somehow giving your child a minature replica of the car James Dean died in seems like bad parenting.

It's gorgeous - and machaus, quite the opposite; it seems like a good way to start scaring a young driver straight long before the teen years.

Somehow giving your child a minature replica of the car James Dean died in seems like bad parenting. iirc, In recreating his crash, it showed he was traveling at the posted speed. He was t-boned by a young driver that appered drunk. The teen whom hit Dean, blew the yeild sign that crossed Dean's way, hittting head on. [dressed in levi's & white t-shirt] My distaste with the electic cars was the speed: m/hr (km/h) 2.5 (4) to a max. 5 (8), too slow. When you can out run it, what's the use.

t-boned : the roads when conected, almost form a "Y", maybe bad description.

It's really a neat way to commemorate a certain car. A guy I dated I had spent part of his childhood in Germany - and apparently it was the thing there for small children to commute to school in their pedal cars. So picture it - all these kindergarten kids driving off to school and parking in a special parking lot. The school was at the bottom of a long hill that the kids couldn't drive up, so their mothers would appear at the close of the school day and tow them home. I couldn't stop laughing when he told me about it. It was so surreal and yet so cute.

Knowing there are people who'll buy these sorts of things for their children makes me want to become a Communist.
