go on a R/C shopping spree for a month(erm may cost more than a corvette of camaro if u know what i mean).. then when it's all over u sell the ones u hate and regain some $$$
but i like step one too
just make sure u dont let ur sons get a hold of the keys. or kick it over, but maybe get something like a challenger? or the Stang Super Snake?(if u have the money)
