We had a visitor today who decided we would make a jet car from the parts he found in my scrap box. That kept us occupied for a few minutes and the result looks pretty good.
Safety note - don't put your fingers in the fan blade with the motor turned on..

Electric motor and fan from a hair dryer
Chassis from one of my rubber band powered cars
