I bought one to race my then-teenage son's car. Ten years later and my son is married and on his own, but my R/C car still comes out once in a while. It's fun to chase our Bichons around the family room, and even more fun outside on an icy parking lot. (BTW, I used the same strategy to buy a motorcycle to go riding with my son; he's gone, but my bike is still safely in the garage).
