Brand New Lancer Evo for $29.99

Did I mention it's 1/14th scale?

www.woot.com - Today Only

-------------------------------------------------------
Nikko 1/14 Scale Lancer Evo High Performance R/C Car
$29.99
+ $5 shipping

Hold Me Closer, Tiny Lancer
Remember when you camped outside the theater to be first in line for 2 Fast 2 Furious? You own the DVD, the soundtrack CD, the novelization, the temporary tattoos, and official 2F2F movie posters in six languages. And now, at long last, you can drive a 1/14-scale RC version of Officer O'Conner's hideous green Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII.

If you're some kinda weirdo, that is. We're not sure why Nikko hitched their wagon to a crappy, unloved sequel like 2 Fast 2 Furious, but this officially-licensed miniature 2002 Evo is irrefutable evidence that they did. In other words, if Vin Diesel was five inches tall, he'd refuse to ride in this car. It would have to settle for being driven by a tiny little Paul Walker (who?), while teensy-weensy Vin moves on to fame and fortune in blockbuster masterpieces like The Chronicles of Riddick and The Pacifier.

But forget this car's unfortunate cinematic connections and focus on the specs. Its premium high-performance motor delivers speeds up to 14 MPH - "2 fast" indeed for most indoor use, but a wonder to behold on the open track. The Lexan polycarbonate body resists impacts the way the ladies resist your come-ons, which is to say it's more or less invulnerable. The pistol-grip transmitter, digital proportional steering, and independent front and rear suspension systems give you the handling and control you yearn for. We dare say it's more fun than some car-oriented action movies we could mention.

Warranty: 60 days from Nikko

Premium high performance motor

I love woot.com. Some of their descriptions are hilarious.

Best line: "Its premium high-performance motor delivers speeds up to 14 MPH - "2 fast" indeed for most indoor use, but a wonder to behold on the open track"

Who writes these descriptions? They're a riot!

I got one!

It's actually a pretty good deal, this is not a super cheap RC car that takes AA batteries. Regressing into childhood rules...

They even wrote a song about it:
