Realistic toy cars are more than just toys: they are a lifestyle.
The addiction to sweet and sexy rides starts at an early age with Hot Wheels and Dinky Toys. It then grows and develops into remote control cars and toy track racers. But this fascination sometimes becomes overwhelming and one can hardly wait until they come of age to be legally allowed to drive their own real-life car.
Enter realistic toy cars. These cars come in the form of tricked out go-carts that give kids the chance to get a taste of the real thing.
This collection also features photo galleries of toy cars made to look realistic and grown to be life-sized while maintaining the theme of the microcosm that toy cars serve to be.
