Hasta La Gadget!

The Spin Master Air Hogs Zero Gravity Laser remote control car ($39.99) s a unique toy: It can be driven on the ground–or tool sideways, along your walls. A fan inside the car enables its wall-gripping ability, and a laser gun provides you with the control.

While the product is targeted to children ages 8 and older, my 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter easily got the hang of playing with this car. I helped them install the batteries and charge up the car, which took about 15 minutes. Then I gave them a quick tutorial, and they were on their way.
