It's cute and all, and I like floaty bit. I'm not convinced those tires would hold up well on harder terrain.  Plus I really require a vehicle with more hauling capacity and functionality.



Unfortunately I cant find a local dealer and Amazon is out of stock  :-\

You are just looking in the wrong department stores, dear... the BAe Terrier comes in at just a smidge under $M8, dahling... Fully remote controlled too... :gay:

The remote control feature alone makes the Terrier worth the extra investment. I could be destroying nations and digging holes all while sitting on my couch in my underwear.

I've noticed over the years that the smaller the soccer mom, the bigger the SUV she drives.
