Cool toy or waste of money?



Our old neighbors used to have one of these Plasma Ride-On Cars. My kids used to love using it so I took the plunge and bought one off Amazon today (with free shipping!). The reviews state that it's a great toy but I'm hoping it can withstand my 5-year old son's roughness! Oh well, I guess I'll soon find out if it was worth the money.
