You can chop up bodies...remember the thread about how to sand tires with a drill? You can probably do the same with the dremel tool. There are a bunch of otehr things you can buy for your dremel also.

I hope I helped :)

Drilling holes for spark plug wires.
Drilling holes for brake rotors.
Cutting off parts
Sanding parts.
Put your rim on a drill bit, take a glove and sandpaper and sand the tire (put on glove to avoid burning ur hand from friction, wrap sand paper around tire and put dremel on low speed)
you can get big buffer attachments , low speed setting and a light touch will giev you a shiny surface with the right practice
can use dremel to work on metal kits, sanding them with special bits.

list goes on and on

Drilling holes to make body-kits, cutting THICK styrene, you'll find so many uses for it! It's a good investment, and if you get one for a gift, you're pretty darn lucky! Make sure you get a varible speed one, this way you get more speed choices!
