    know those racks of toy cars they have at pharmacies? I was there and just notice the taillights. At first I thought it was something else and then I remembered that the only cr Ive seen those taillights on are Comet. Pretty cool little car.

    Always wondered, are the wheels on thes elittle toys interchangeable?

    depends on how much work you wanna put into a toy car. id rather change wheels on a real car. probly easier.:D

    Yeah, theyre just held onto the "axle" by either high-strength glue or "axles" with a cross-hatch engraving to hold them on...gripping both tires and turning in opposite directions with pliers will make them pop off.

    I used to do that when I was a kid, although youll find yourself drilling wider holes and using glue when you put the new set on.
