    Man, if only my childhood friend’s Powerwheels Porsche had this kind of power. I would have grown up a racer, Initial D style. Now I love me some Powerwheels, but putting a real engine in those things is pretty much suicide. I get the feeling that these things tend to roll over a bit more than plain Powerwheels. This video must be just the highest highlights, however; we don’t see a lot of blood on the snow.

    I don’t understand how they’re getting any grip at all, though. They must have put some all-weather tires on as well. But where do you get pint-size snow tires? Keebler?
