Get the controller. You can only run one car at a time by yourself. BUT, if you have the Propo Special controller ONE car is more than enough (unless you get obsessed,Like me, and have to own the ALL!!) Anyway I suggest you get the controller. Like Keal said, once you get it, the cars are not to hard of a choice. Look at it this way, If you get two cars, BUT you hate the controllers, You will be frustrated and may give up on something great, BUT if you get the controller and one car, you become hooked!

One of my close friends (hes in his thirties) said-"come on, ALL the cool kids are doing it" He said that to everyone about everything,so it just seemed like the right time to repeat it.
