Speed Racer Helmet
All I can say is that when the 6 year old opened the box, he was blown away.

Best Helmet I've Ever Bought
I was browsing the local Wal-Mart when I saw this beauty in the clearance aisle. Someone had ripped the box apart, and the sounds weren't loud, and lucky me- it was discounted a few bucks!

I immediately grabbed the helmet and took off for the checkout lane. Unfortunately the sounds started going off and I didn't know at the time that there was a button to turn them off. Sadly, society doesn't understand that a 19-year old boy buying a talking helmet does NOT warrant awkward stares.

Oh Well!

I instantly went to my car, placed it on, made sure that the sounds were making the VROOM noises so I didn't have to, and drove around town. Now I don't know if it is exactly legal, so I tend to take the helmet off while passing cops. Everyone else gets the full effect of the helmet.

So far I've only had one person hysterically laugh and stare while driving. I look to better this number with a long future with this helmet.

Future plans:

+ Input a stereo system
+ Input neon lighting
+ Tint visor
+ Custom pinstripes
+ GPS navigation

Will report back once this baby is pimped.

He loves it!
He loves it - this is the main thing he asked for his birthday - rides his bike with the helmet on - lots of time for great imagination!
