    If you have $400, one or more children in correct demographic, and memories of a certain era long ago:

    Electric VW bus toy

    (I chained the URL so bisco won't need to scold me again)

    @bobw might even find some neighborhood kids to share the joy with :)

    Things like this remind me of Hammacher Schlemmer but they seem not to have included it yet. Plenty of time before Christmas :)

    Note the 88-pound load capacity.

    BTW any other fun toys would be very welcome here. A topic that Fred has not much explored.
