Now that I've got a family, the Tib has taken a backseat to other projects. Here's one of them:







It started as a BMW Z4 lookalike, but gave it all the "official" BMW M-Edition badging. Am in the process of adding LED's to give it functional head/tail lamps. Then convert from 12v to 18v for more speed. Several kids in the area have stock Power Wheels, so with my help, hers will blow the doors off the others. May even add a real radio and speakers. Sorry, this is the only pic for now.

Cool. My son is getting a BMW for Christmas I plan on modding too. I suggest fitting rubber to the wheels for more traction.

I thought this was going to be about chicks with issues.









Cut the tub and put it on a go kart chassis. Instant awesome.

This model already came with a rubber strip built into the wheels. It not only provides more grip but limits the road noise.





Make sure to get a "Power Wheels" brand and not the chinese crap Walmart sells. Parts are much easier to find when you need to replace the gearbox or battery.
