smash up derby by kenner

Here is an old commercial from the early to mid 70's that most of us "old" guys will remember. If you didn't own one of these you probably knew someone who did!

@magesfolly F%@& "safe". I always felt that the danger factor of toys made in the 50's thru 80's, was a sort of natural selection thing. If a child is too stupid to play with a toy, without harming, maiming, or killing themselves, (although a little playful pain can tuffen'em up) perhaps it's for the best, as it's doubtful they'd make it in society. (the real world being less forgiving than a spring loaded toy or lawn dart). F&@$ing Nanny state bastards. Bring back based lead paint, damn it!

I had one of these when I was 9 or 10. A school mate of mine knew a friend who had a few of these. One day had came back from a trip with his folks down south and bought some fireworks. The guy selling the fireworks told the kid he could blow up the SSD with a few firecrackers. So he stuffed a few firecrackers in the rear of the Chevy Wagon, lit it up...AND...BOOM!!!!! The car went up 20 feet, and then crashed on impact, virtually destroying the car! That was fun!!!!

I am an "ol' GAL" and I had this too! I loved playing with it. Couldn't get enough of it! I wish they still made them; I would get it for my grandkids.

@trotts19 my brother and i would face off from the kneeling position with these. 3 pounds of steel straight to the kneecap, pow! tried to by my neph a decent cap gun last week and couldnt even find one...

@HDXCify dont forget getting the web of your hand caught up in the rubber and steel driving wheel.

[MrByaeger]

dude! i spent the last 3 days trying to remember the name of these, as i was compiling a list of "dangerous toys". jarts was #1 of course, but these run a close 2nd place. it was a right of passage to snag the web of your hand up in the driving wheel. or like i did with my brother, you knelt done facing each other about 6 feet apart and sent them head to head for a collision. most the time though you just kneecapped each other with 7 pounds on high grade steel.

Lol I just found an orange one(minus parts) in a snowbank yesterday! My brother and I launched these things off everything. Ramp to big book to cleared coffee- table. A really big pull meant it went all the way down the hallway beyond that! All the tiny dents in the walls. Go big or go home! ;)

@MrHueJazz1 It's the Southern U.S. way of saying 'right here'.
