This illustrates the downside of 0bamamobiles (don’t use dinosaur juice, true, but don’t perform worth sh#t either).

Some Power Wheels models, like the Ford F150 truck, can achieve speeds of up to 5 mph. Fast enough to keep most young kids entertained but a little slow for an effective high-speed getaway.

Oh, I don't know. Does Power Wheels make a white Bronco model?

This is a funny story; however, there are some vids on youtube showing where some mechanically inclined guys up in Minnesota took some powerwheel chassis, modified them with beefed up axles, wheels, bearings, etc., installed small Honda trail bike motors on them and made some killer “toys” out of them. I don’t have the link at the moment but there’s vids of them at fairly high speeds on roads and cutting big rooster tails on snow packed parking lots.
