The car is very responsive.  This is the second one I've gotten.  I can't determine any difference between the two but they have different part numbers.  I want to be able to race them and wanted the same type of carl.  The car seems reasonably durable.  The remote may be the weak link.  It has a very flimsy feel to it.  The 4 screws on the battery compartment are a bit of a nuisance, a snap latch would have been nice.  The car is very responsive to the remote, even at a distance.  I like it.

One more time Xfinity/Comcast has proved annoying.   They are dropping Norton protection as of Dec. 31, 2020 for their own "protection".   I have not read anything that indicates that their protection is remotely as robust as Norton.  Now today Norton offered to take on Comcast customers for one year for $1.00.   Great deal, right?   Well maybe, maybe not.  Yes, the first year is a great deal but with automatic renewal you would be put right into $104.99 package in year two for five devices.    This means it is time to read and shop.   There are an astounding number of articles rating antivirus software.   They seldom agree as to which one is best and best is or at least should be a combination of price and performance.  Finding the right price with the features you need is challenging.   I found that the product website sometimes had a better price than Amazon, Staples or others and sometim...

This knife does not open with one hand or at least it does not open completely and lock so half open is basically useless.  The knife otherwise seems fine.  It has a good edge.  The lock back seems secure.  I did not try and cut a seatbelt to see if that worked, nor did I break a window with the little knobby that is designed for that.

This flashlight is very bright.  It took several hours to charge.  It says it has a three levels of brightness based on pushing the on/off switch multiple times.  I was unable to get medium or low, I was able to get SOS and strobe.  It is a nice size and throws amazing light for the small size.  Dinged one star due to not being able to get a medium or a low to work.
