Thumb Sized R/C MINI Cooper

So I'm sure many of you have seen these before, but my favorite retail website is carrying them for only $9.99. These are 2.25" long remote control MINI coopers, with full control (forward, reverse, left, right).

Best thing is that the company (ThinkGeek) is based locally to us. Support your local businesses! I've ordered various geeky gadgets from them for years and always received excellent customer service. HINT: If you order using "UPS Ground", you'll get your package the next day (if you order early enough, and it gets to UPS in time. Ground shipping from their warehouse to the DC/NoVA/MD area is one day).

The video embedded on the page is cute, too.

I had just seen these today! I agree, they look awesome, and I have had many good experiences with the site.

Just don't drive it off a table...we did and broke a wheel off. But we fixed it and have had a blast with it. The dogs love it.
