Ok... so I went to Wal-Mart today with no real intentions other than to browse...
...when I see it.
...something I thought was pretty wicked when it first came out, but it was $100, so I came to my senses and passed on it.
...but being a huge West Coast Choppers nut, I always thought of it.
...and there, lo and behold... in the clearance section today... for $51....
...I just HAD to...

Dear Lord, this thing is GINORMOUS... (1:6 scale)
Here's some size comparisons:

and next to 18" Spidey:

It's remote control, has lights and turn signals, sound effects, and hydraulics that lower and raise the car, and when it's lowered, it sparks!
...oh, and I now realize I have ABSOLUTELY no room for it...

The wife didn't like my propsed idea to build a shelf for it in the living room... (she does think it's cool, for the record... she was gonna get it for me for Christmas when it was still $100, but money was tight and I told her not to).
Can't beat that deal - MORE than worth it! Of course, now I have to find a spot for it... or make a spot for it...
