Nah, it wasn't a Green Machine. It didn't have sticks, it had big wheels on the sides with handles on them.

I loved my big wheel.....that thing was so fucking loud. Them hard plastic wheels would just piss the neighbors off to no end when I blasted it down the driveway at 7 o'clock saturday morning.

You'd use that emergency brake and do the powerslides...the wheels would get holes in e'm.

I remember this fat kid getting on one of 'em and just crushing it...he was stuck in it and I just wailed on him. That still pisses me off....fucking fatties.

Yeah, same here, we must be near the same age.....
I also loved HotWheels, with the orange tracks, I wish I kept my hotwheels, they would be worth something now, that and old hockey cards....Nowadays I see kids that age riding around in moterized-wheel ATV's, kinda makes me sick, we used peddle power....

G.I.Joe figures of course.

Between my younger brother and I, we must have had over 100 figures and vehicles.

Too bad I have just a couple left. Probably would have been worth a fortune.
