Sure, a
GPS receiver designed for in-car use is far from
unique, but an actual geo-locator disguised as a car is an entirely different animal. AVing was able to sneak a peek at a new SiRF Star III GPS receiver that throws a unique twist on your more vanilla alternatives. Apparently manufactured under a "Gold Kiwi" moniker, the tiny vehicle also sports Bluetooth capability, but a built-in sound system and handsfree support couldn't be verified. While we have our doubts about these undercover receivers wheeling their way to American shores, you might want to double-check the undercarriage of the next Hot Wheels toy you buy -- unless, of course, you don't mind the far-fetched possibility of bringing an unsolicited
tracking device into your home.

Wow! I have GOT to get this for some of my "friends". LOL. What i wonder...why did they amke it something a 5 year old would want to play with, and what would they want with a five year old? Unless their tracking the parent that is gonna get their 5-year old that toy for the holidays, this seems like it has some great uses for suprise parties or practical jokes!
When you leave it on the dashboard it looks like a CHEAP child's toy, not an expensive GPS unit. Less interesting to a thief.
oh!

wow thats a cool idea
ha i bet my mom will put that on my car next time i visit.
