Looks like you've got the HoN1 Flu..... Yeah and there aint no cure for it!!!! These are $4.49 each a little higher then normal, but worth it.

Those aren't the usual buck-apiece cars, with those added working features. Still, compared to hobby shop vehicle prices, they're a good deal. Nice little rigs!
