Woah! Real live micro machines.

I remember old people telling stories about their youth and how hard it was back then... Well, I sure didn't live through no war and didn't have to walk barefoot 10 miles uphill to go to school, but I sure as hell didn't have a car set like this one.

Those are little hotwheel cars guided by infrared beacons. Which means you can make wacky track layouts like this one. Just look at the demo video, just look at it!

Those things are so awesome I'd give one of my ram banks for them. Good luck having fun with your misely train set from now on.
