Restoration Hardware Shelby Slot Car Track
Don’t own one of the six existing Shelby Daytona Coupes, valued at $4 million each? Live vicariously through this set. Twenty-two volts course through nearly 64 feet of track (many sets have only 25), while high-powered magnets keep both miniature Daytonas from going airborne if you get a lead finger.

Eyeclops Night Vision Goggles
An average set of night-vision goggles costs $500 or more, yet these use the same infrared technology for far less. Sure, they’re not military grade — the Eyeclops are made of plastic, require five AA batteries, and they’re really more of a monocular, since the small inner LCD is in front of the right eye. But you can still see up to 50 feet in darkness and choose a black-and-white or green-tinted display. [$80; eyeclops.com]
Zero X Dirt Bike
Revving a two-stroke engine over Ma Nature’s face isn’t eco-friendly, no matter how you cut it. So Zero created a dirt bike for riders with a conscience, replacing the pollutant-spewing combustion engine with an electric one that makes 23 hp and a stout 50 lb-ft of torque. That means the Zero X can hang with the average dirt bike, blazing through 40 miles of trails between recharges. [from $7,450; zeromotorcycles.com]
