Ok, so I'm not talking about a new Plasma TV. Heck, I don't even have cable, not to mention the spare cash to fork over for one of those. Although I have to admit that that would be a nice way to watch my movies at home. Someday.
What I am talking about though, is a PlasmaCar. This toy car was voted a winner in the 2008 Fat Brain toy awards. And deservedly so, I must say.
While checking out an indoor community play area with Lukas yesterday, Mrs. LIAFY and I happened upon a couple of these cars and since the wide open space was otherwise empty, we took them for a spin around the play room. We ended up riding them for several minutes while Luke busied himself with toys his own age (the car is for 3 years and over), and we had a blast!These cars are operated by inertia, centrifugal force, gravity & friction, so no pedaling or pushing is involved. Just hop on, turn the wheel, and spin around the room. Backwards, forwards, hairpin turns, you name it we were able to do it with these amazing little cars. I had never heard of a PlasmaCar before yesterday, but I was instantly hooked. All you need is a smooth, flat surface and you are ready to roll, continuously!
The heck with buying one for your kids, I recommend you go out and buy one for yourself. You'll definitely feel like a kid again. I sure did.

Now that is sweet! And it comes in assorted colors.
We could use some video of this death trap...I will hunt down something. Standing back up after using something like that looks difficult.
I must say, that looks pretty cool man. But, with no pedaling or effort required by the kid, I doubt my wife would go for it.
Those things are awesome. They have them at the mall and the boys always want to ride them.
I think I'll stick one on my wish list. It'd be perfect for my office. Thanks for sharing, James! Hadn't seen these yet.
@Ed - Candy for the eyes too.
@MTAE - Youtube, youtube, youtube.
@Scifi - No, it's for you! Not for Muchkin. Splain it to her that way.
@Whit - I had no idea they even existed until I hopped on one and was, like giddy rolling around the room.
@Rob - Where to you work, the Y? I have a 10X5 cave with furniture.
Looks like loads of fun. Where can I get one?
Selection in regards to lcd brackets is to purchase a tilting mount that it perfectly suited for any LCD TV which is situated closer to the ceiling of the room and it permits you to look upwards at the TV and also provides you the ability to tilt the screen in a downward direction to help improve the viewing angle of the screen.Another piece of advice would be to mount the bracket to a solid wall.tv wall mounts can be fitted to make efficient use of space in any room
