    Yeah unless she was being stupid and driving in a high traffic area. Then there's really not much she can say.

    I actually set up an rc drift comp at the last turner drift event (got permission, and they had us pick an area). Some a-hole in a white mustang came blowing through the pits and ran one of the cars over. Rc dude was pissed. I would have been too.

    Toy or not... A lot of time and money goes into building these things. My whole setup was like $300 and thats about as bottom of the line as they get. Took like 6-10 hrs to assemble, paint and so on.

    But its still A LOT less time and cost intensive than throwing my actual project car around. A new set of tires alone on that bitch is $400+.

    Which is why I'm all about rc.

    yeah, they get pretty expensive. I got into racing them when i was a little younger. Started off running the bolink legends which i doubt they even do any more, that was the cheapest one you could buy and race with on the circuit, it was like $300. I eventually worked my way up to the awd 2 speed gas powered ones and probably spent $7-800 on it. If someone ran over my rc on accident, it is what it is, id be upset, but its nobodies fault. If some jackass came flying thru the parking lot or doing something stupid and ran over it.... that would be a completely different story.
