Are you Gen X? Want to do a little time travelling?

I used aluminum cans. Sortof fold them, then jam behind front fork for cool 'engine' sounds.

 

Oh wow using cans never made it to Central Massachusetts. I’d love to hear how that sounded.

 

I'm pretty sure it was an accidental find. I probably ran over a can on purpose that 'stuck' on the tire. More 'revvy' than the cards.

 

We used to use balloons too. They'd last a little then give you a nice back fire, lol.

 

I was a Flinstones Kid.

 

Me and my cousins moved up from the stompers to these:


One lever was 2wd and 4wd, the other was forward and reverse.

I was a bearfoot fan...



He had this one and a pulling sled.



Modeled after the real pulling truck, which we saw locally.





Hours upon hours of enjoyment.

 

My buddy had the bigfoot and sled. I was jelly. I was more so of my other buddy who had one of these...

 

Ah yes, knew it was around somewhere.

 

You need to crack open a cold Schmidt’s in that bad boy.

 

This can is likely period correct, though I don't remember many drinking Rolling Rock aside from one family in particulat. I had found the ultimate some time back, but I think the pic was on the phone that lives in the river now. "Beer" brand beer, plain white can. I saved it.

 

Speaking of questionable beers...a friend in elementary school had a dad with a Kegorator. Not all that uncommon for the time. But...he kept a keg of Schlitz in his. LOL

 

The "MEAN GREEN from Latrobe

 

It's one of these. Falstaff Brewing Co. I can vaugely remember seeing them on the shelf at the grocer as a kid.

 

Fun video. They had fans make and submit iconic movie characters for the video. It makes me smile.



Whatever will be, will be
Don't care what anyone else thinks
You'll be okay, I promise
Just keep on keeping on
It's just a bad day, not a bad life
I'll always be there for you
I swear the breath from my lungs
You'll feel it when you know
Life is worth the risk
Live long and prosper
Believe in yourself and create your own destiny
Don't fear failure

 

Definitely memory lane there.

Does anyone remember having 2 different colored shoelaces in their high tops, and having them woven for a pattern?

 

Oh yeah, I remember doing this;


I had a pair of Patrick Ewing Addidas. Worth a fortune if I still had em.
