    I remember quite clearly that my son had a car that was the spittin' image of
    the Smamborghini back 1985. It was about 2 inches long and had a spring
    motor. He kept loosing it under the couch, behind the stereo cabinet, etc.

    Lemme tell ya, I'd be very hesitant to buy one of these for basic
    transportation. Every morning you might have to spend an hour or so
    searching all over the house, crawling around on your hands and knees,
    searching in every nook and cranny with a flashlight to try to find it. :p

    Marvinh,

    great find, what a hoot! Thanks for sharing. Who makes them, Tonka-Toy?

    These things really are not much bigger than a go-cart! Are they really
    street legal?

    Are they available in EV or hybrid versions yet?

    They do look like toys. Far too ridiculous looking to drive on the road.

    No, but seriously now...

    If you had a NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) that looked like any of these
    little cuties, at least there would be the allusion that, given a long enough
    straight-away on a moderate down-slope, you would have a slightly better
    than even chance to win a race against the kid on a Big Wheel who lives on
    the next block over.

    So where is the Smrius? Without that, this thread is highly Off-Topic.
