    RabidPony, I guess you didn't read all the threads to well.

    I know what I want from santa. I am thinking that it would have zero road handling ability. It also did not appear to like going from forward to reverse too much.

    As for the Jeep with him, I wouldn't want to ride shotgun in that thing, check out the passenger seat in the video going up the hill from the far away shot...
