Someone has way too much time

 

LOL. I don't know if you guys had Big Wheels over there, but they were huge here. My stepson wore out 3 of them. He would flat spot the wheels by spinning it out and sliding the rear wheels. He wore out a front wheel too.

I can see where some kid would grow up wishing he had a big wheel with a motor on it because they were the ultimate little kids hot rod, and it seems this kid fulfilled his dream....

 

Actually, they make little cycles and cars with motors on them for the little kids now. I went for a walk through my neighborhood on Christmas day and saw a few of them.

Actually, the non-motorized versions are probably better for kids since they help promote exercise (something kids seem to get less and less of these days), but I can see how a kid would dream of growing up and getting one of those.

 

Yeah, we had them too.
If I remember right, the 'Green Machine' was really popular, but I had a Flinstones one (that broke after some rugged use), and a Spider-Man one that had the same fate. Actually, a lot of my toys suffered the same fate
