Corgi's bumpin' iCar speakers

In a move that seems a bit out-of-character, British die-cast model maker Corgi has expanded its product line of classic plane, train, and car replicas to include a pair of "pimped-out" (their words, not ours) car-themed portable speakers for digital audio players. The iCar, as it's known, comes in either Cadillac Escalade or Nissan 240SX styles- both of which stream music from any headphone jack-equipped DAP or pump their own selection of pre-loaded tunes. The real fun begins when you "hit the switches" and watch these 1:24 scale rides throw down the illuminated ground effects and bump along with your tunes in a fit of simulated hydraulics. Of course no ghettomobile would be complete without spinning rims and fat tires, and the iCar delivers on both counts. Let's just hope the speakers sound decent, because once you get sick of the hopping and the flashing (our guess: ~2 to 3 days), you may be left with little more than a $35 paperweight.
