Abstract: A method comprises sending to a computer processor a log-in identifier to access a virtual garage stored in an online database. The virtual garage can contain computer code representing at least one vehicle stored in the virtual garage, and the vehicle being comprised of a plurality of components. Instructions can be sent to the computer processor from the first party to display the at least one vehicle in the virtual garage. A replacement component for at least one of the plurality of components is selected and sent by the first party to the computer processor, along with instructions to replace the component with the replacement component to create a new vehicle. Once the new vehicle is created, it can be displayed on the end user device.

Abstract: A family of toy cars includes a plurality of components, which cooperatively translate a motive force applied to a finger engagement structure into motion of the toy car in a horizontal plane. The toy car system includes a chassis, a body, a finger engagement structure, a pair of front wheels rotatably coupled to the chassis, and a pair of rear wheels rotatably coupled to the chassis. Each of the front pair of wheels may be coupled to the front suspension by a castered coupling. The toy car may include a steering linkage between the front wheels configured such that the front wheels turn in unison in response to the motive force applied to the toy car.

Abstract: A family of toy cars includes a plurality of external body components, which may be removably assembled into a street car, track car or dirt car by children or adult user. The toy car system includes a chassis with fastener receiving holes and each of the body components include a pair of spaced apart attachment holes, such that the corresponding holes of the body components line with each other and with the fastener receiving holes of the chassis when the body components are positioned in an overlapped configuration. The front and rear pair of wheels are attached to the chassis by corresponding wheel fasteners, wherein all the fasteners in the toy car system have the same size and shape and are easily detachable.
