    For an aggravatingly slow, first person take on a similar idea, you can head over to [preview.local.live.com] and check out Microsoft's entry in the competition of pointless-inclusion-of-automobiles-onto-interactive-maps.

    Did I just say that adding cars to something was pointless? I must need more brefass scotch.

    edit: hooray, for the return of the url hyperlink!
    edit again: Apparently editing a post kills the hyperlink. :(

    There should be a virtual burger, fries, a mobile phone, and, because it's NYC, the occasional assault on your windscreen by a bum with a squeegee.

    I was too old to have this as a toy; by 1983 I was a Junior in college. However, I suspect that Tomy contracted with FoMoCo to design the dashboard of my 1988 Lincoln Continental. The dash is similar in too many ways...

    While I never had one of those things, I did have a little gizmo from Micro Machines in which the Micro Machines car (An R5 Turbo rally car, if memory serves) clipped onto a clear plastic base with a magnet attached. The car was then placed atop another magnet which moved side to side via a steering wheel shaped control, and this magnet was hidden underneath a paper scroll depicting a racetrack. This scroll moved along at two or three different speeds, which was controlled by a tiny t-handle shifter. Best of all? It came with 3D glasses! It's a shame I can't find a picture or more info to share in the vastness of teh interwebz.

    This works. I've spent several hours of my life at it.
