    And so now we all know where the big three got their quality standards for their malaise era cars.

    (And yes, the little pull-cords were indeed good for whipping your sister. So was that orange hot-wheels track).

    I was sitting here at the bar, and when I saw this and was waiting for the main page to finish loading, I asked some friends if they remembered the Kenner SSP Smash-Em-Up Derby cars, and when they gave me a kinda' weird look, I said,
    "Remember back when you were a kid, and it had that rip-cord thing that would get that wheel in the middle spinning so fast it would burn you?"
    "Oh Yeah, I remember!! And you could just yank on it, and put the wheel on your friend and burn him!"
    "And the pull-cord was great for whipping your sister!"
    They were trying to remember the song, and were getting pretty close, but when this page finally loaded and I clicked on Murillee's vid, they all sang the song perfectly and loudly, like it was some Irish-Pub-Drinking-Song with one guy finishing the dialogue right to the"....'cheer" at the end!
    Murilee, you made these guys day! Now they're talking about that little helicopter thing on the wire that flew in little circles on the top of the table........

    @coupeZ600: Do you bring your laptop to a bar or do you have a bar at your house? Either way I find it rather badass

    I can't find them anywhere on the internet, but, does anyone remember the Matchbox cars that when hit, a spring loaded panel would rotate to reveal damage?

    It might have been Hotwheels. I remember having one or two when I was very young.

    @Prawo Jazdy and The Velocity Trumpets: Yep, I remember. I believe they were Hot Wheels. I had a couple, I think a regal and a Camaro.

    @Prawo Jazdy and The Velocity Trumpets: Yes! I also had one that had a plastic hood that would pop open when the spring-loaded front panel would rotate. Probably still in a box at my parents' somewhere.

    And somehow, as if by magic, we did not lose a generation of children due to ingestion of small parts.
