Quirks as in, reverse doesn’t work? Or quirks as in, you can summon a friendly spirit with the turn signal stalk? An important distinction. But tentative NP.
This slide show was a nice trip down memory lane. Made me realize how many awesome car toys I had completely forgotten about!
When you DID manage to jump the train, it was a triumphant moment! Ever try to jump THROUGH an open box car? Pretty sure it was impossible but dammit, I tried!
Processed Plastics made this
I got The Pit Change Charger when I was 5 and it locked in my love of stock car racing and working on cars. I fantasized about being AJ Foyt at Daytona back when there were only 4 races televised a year. I can’t tell you how many times I took that car apart and ‘rebuilt’ the engine, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on…
I, too, had the Road and Rail AND the jump. HOURS spent playing that with my step-brother and cousins. I shit myself laughing after a particularly brutal crash. I was 8. I want another one now. I’m 55.
I remember that! I also remember a plastic Corvette likely made by the same company that had a long rod with a steering wheel at the end that you could sort of “steer”. Havent been able to find a pic of one of these.
Yep, had that exact same set that met a similar demise. One of my aunts worked for Mattel in the mid 70s and I got a few prototypes that I loved into oblivion. Worth a ton now but wouldn’t dream of trading the fun had for some money.
Pretty sure they didn't mean to change the logo. Would have been another recall so they are going with "we meant to do that "
It’s no KN car, thats for sure.
