NEWSWEEK's mini car shootout-guess who won??

On page 76 of NewsWeek, i found a review of the new mini cars.

THE CONTENDERS:
A red VW bug Digi Q 49$
A microsizer Subaru $29.95
A Mustang Zip Zap $19.95

The Drag RAce-
The journalist's first test was the obivious. The Digi Q took all honors of the competition

The Oval RAce-
The track was a oval and the three were tested for their handling skills. The Digi Q was not really the best, because of the constant spin outs the car took. And for some strange reason, the journalist claimed that the microsizers motor kept popping out (i really dont kno how dats possible?...). There wasnt any comment about the mustang in the oval race, but most likely it had good handling skills

Summary
"In the end, my motorheads loved the reliable Zip. it's the first time they've ever picked the cheapest option. i'm sure it'll be the last."


-journalist Andrew Murr

This is pure personal opinion but I'll take the ZZ over the Bits anytime, They both seem to have the same craftmanship, abut the Bits have that short body and little front tires! wierd!!! I also hate that rollout antena BTW!!!

and the ZZs are $10 less...a no brainer!
