We claim: 1. A toy vehicle with a rotatable light display, the toy vehicle comprising: a housing defined by outer walls surrounding a hollow interior and at least substantially forming a toy vehicle body, the housing having a plurality of openings through the outer walls; at least translucent panel means coupled to the housing and aligned with the plurality of openings; a motor mounted within the hollow interior; a light source within the hollow interior; and a rotatable member drivingly connected to the motor in the interior so as to be rotated by operation of the motor and positioned with respect to the light source so as to direct at least one beam of light emitted from the light source about the hollow interior and sequentially and cyclically through the plurality of openings and aligned translucent panel means. 2. The toy vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a movable member mounted on the housing and operably connected to the motor, whereby operation of the motor additionally causes movement of the movable member with respect to the housing. 3. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the light source is fixedly and stationarily mounted to the housing extending at least into the rotatable member so as to be partially shielded by the rotation member. 4. The toy vehicle of claim 3, wherein the rotatable member comprises a disc with a hollow protrusion extending axially from the disc, the hollow protrusion including a radial cutout, the light source being disposed within the protrusion such that light emitted from the light source is directed outwardly through the cutout in the protrusion as the beam. 5. The toy vehicle of claim 3, wherein the rotatable member includes: a channel having a first portion and a second portion, the light source being disposed at least partially within the first portion of the channel; and a mirror disposed within the channel and oriented to direct light emitted from the light source from the first portion of the channel into the second portion of the channel and radially outwardly from the channel as the beam. 6. The toy vehicle of claim 5, wherein the rotatable member has a bottom and an outer circumferential edge with a hole disposed in the outer circumferential edge, such that the first portion of the channel extends substantially upwardly from the bottom and the second portion extends radially outwardly from the first portion to the hole in the outer circumferential edge. 7. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the light source is fixedly mounted on the rotatable member to rotate with the rotatable member. 8. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the light source is a light emitting diode. 9. The toy vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of road wheels rotatably engaged with the housing so as to support the housing for movement across a surface, at least one of the plurality of road wheels being drivingly connected with the motor such that operation of the motor further causes rotation of the at least one road wheel. 10. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the motor includes a flywheel rotatably engaged with the vehicle. 11. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the motor is an electric motor powered by at least one battery within the vehicle. 12. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the motor is an inertia motor powered by user actuation of a switch mounted on the housing. 13. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein actuation of a button disposed on the vehicle causes at least powering of the light source and rotation of the rotatable member. 14. The toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein at least the light source and motor operate for a predetermined amount of time before automatically shutting off. 15. In a toy vehicle having a housing defined by outer walls surrounding a hollow interior, the housing having a plurality of openings through the outer walls and at least translucent panel means coupled to the housing and aligned with the plurality of openings, the vehicle further having a motor disposed within the hollow interior, a rotatable light display comprising: a light source within the hollow interior; and a rotatable member drivingly connected to the motor in the hollow interior so as to be rotated by operation of the motor and positioned with respect to the light source so as to direct at least one beam of light emitted from the light source about the hollow interior and sequentially and cyclically through the plurality of openings and aligned translucent panel means. 16. The rotatable light display of claim 15, wherein the light source is fixedly and stationarily mounted to the housing and extends at least sufficiently into the rotatable member so as to be partially shielded by the rotatable member. 17. The rotatable light display of claim 16, wherein the rotatable member comprises a disc and a hollow protrusion extending axially from the disc, the hollow protrusion including a radial cutout, the light source being disposed within the protrusion such that light emitted from the light source is directed outwardly through the cutout in the protrusion as the beam. 18. The rotatable light display of claim 16, wherein the rotatable member comprises a gear driven by the motor. 19. The rotatable light display of claim 18, wherein the rotatable member further comprises: a channel in the gear, the channel having a first portion and a second portion, the light source being disposed at least partially within the first portion of the channel; and a mirror disposed within the channel and oriented to direct light emitted from the light source from the first portion of the channel into the second portion of the channel and radially outwardly from the channel of the gear. 20. The rotatable light display of claim 19, wherein the gear has a bottom and an outer circumferential edge with a hole disposed in the outer circumferential edge, such that the first portion of the channel extends substantially upwardly from the bottom and the second portion extends radially outwardly from the first portion to the hole in the outer circumferential edge. 21. The rotatable light display of claim 15, wherein the light source is fixedly mounted on the rotatable member to rotate with the rotatable member. 22. The rotatable light display of claim 15, wherein the light source is a light emitting diode. 23. The rotatable light display of claim 15, wherein actuation of a button disposed on the toy vehicle causes at least the rotatable light display to begin operation. 24. The rotatable light display of claim 23, wherein at least the rotatable light display operates for a predetermined amount of time before automatically shutting off.
