Right? Well this poor grandchild will have a cool PowerWheels that's for sure...

So I'm thinking for a PowerWheels rollcage a simple 2" PVC setup might be good enough "if" I keep the motor power below 5 hp...definitely ditching the nonsense motor those come with. I am going to use an Interstate battery under it's hood. Toughest part will be axle/real tractor tires, mini shocks and mini coil springs... I was thinking I may install a gas pedal regulator that senses positioning that will create a V8 sound through a hidden outdoor speaker.

congrats!! my stepmom doesn't like grandma, so she wants to be called Mimi.

cool thing is, it must be popular b/c we've seen alot of shirts that say things like, "Mimi's boy" or "I love my Mimi" etc.
