I find that if you want a car, the 8448 'blows the doors' off of 8880

I don't want a car, I never said I did, I only buy sets for the great parts

The shuttle is boring, what can you actually do with it? It has little play
value. The shuttle is the over complex set, and my one suffered because all
it's drive belts slipped.
