    The engine is mounted mid ships in this model just behind the front seat. I think Jairus was planning to try that with his '58,lol. :idea:

    I have the red one hidden in my laptop bag so my 6 year old can't find it. The purple LRE is something I saw recently but I was twenty cents short of being able to buy it. It's bad enough when I have some cash like $600 and see a $700 car and I'm so close to getting it, it either sells or I find something else to use the $600 on (that is usually suggested by my wife...groan). But when I'm in Wal-Mart with no cash and I see a $1.07 toy car and I only have three quarters and a dime on me, it makes me want to go mug some kids for the balance.

    Are you saying you hid it in your laptop bag ?

    Till you pay for it,hide it in the store its safer!

    I have an orange/black 8 Crate too.

    I wonder how many variations there are.
