I guess I’m going a little younger. A Green Maxhine.

Everyone had Big Wheels but a Green Machine was the shite.

But a Big Wheel with skid plate, that may be the finest toy ever made. The freedom of movement for a kid that young. That was something to behold.

Definitely a go kart. If you had the roll bars on top you were a bitch (but still cooler than me because I had a mountain bike FML)

Got a Suzuki 50 for Christmas


I also got a Suzuki 50 for Christmas one year also. Very same day rode it through one of our fields and the back wheel picked up so much red clay that it locked up and would not turn. Still remember how pissed my dad was helping me drag that thing home. Few years later got a Honda CR80R. The power band on that thing was something else.

I don’t remember the XR75, but everybody who didn’t weigh enough to compress the shocks of an XR100 went with the XR80.

Nintendo, the original. I'm sure someone has already said it though.

That made you cool? Those things suck. My dad bolted our hoop and backboard to the roof and painted a lane and three point circle on the driveway with flood lights in the tree next to the driveway so we could play at night. Bless our wonderful neighbors growing up.

Growing up in India, It's the cricket bat.

You get to bat first. Half the time, they threaten to leave if the game is not going their way.

I never had one. We never got gifts like my kids do now.
