When I was a kid (around 8) worked as a ramp rat for my a fixed base
company. My pay was duel time in a J-3 Cub. (I had long legs so I could
just reach the rudder petals)

to my mind it WAS a P51!

I can understand an 8 year old wanting to do that but I will never get
the apparently permanent 8 year olds with modified mufflers on their
motorcycles.

The difference is that we actually had to DO something such as carefully
aligning the cards,etc. Now some stupid machine does it for them. Kinda
takes all the fun out of it all.


It is similar to the "other 8 year olds" who take their motorcycle to a
shop to have the muffler modified.

Sounds about right. They saved all the good stuff for the kids of today.
The ones who don't appreciate anything, and who would want it installed by
someone before they would try it out. We made fun out of nothing, and
today, it's $49.95

The Mattel toy uses batteries, the Turbospoke uses kid power, a kid's
batteries rarely run down. ^_^

There are kids making their own out of plastic soft drink bottles which
is probably where the idea for the toy came from. It's The American way,
you come up with an idea or improvements which lead to a product that
other folks will pay you for. Some kid will see the toy and decide he
can make his own or a better one. Big kids like their obnoxious toys
too! ^_^

I'm sure there are kids out there who are like I was when I was a
youngster. I would see something like that and figure out how it works
then build my own. ^_^

Isn't $49.95 today about equal to nothing back then?????

If you're so much smarter than 'kids today' -- why don't you take a
turn at a computer terminal or video game with them?g

Who are you responding to? I never wrote I was smarter than kids today.
It's something you made up.

I think that the majority of video games are more about reaction time
that intelligence, anyway; sure, there's some "do this and this might/
will happen" logic in some of them, but that's about the extent of it.

(And talking of computer terminals, I really wish I still had my old DEC
VT220 - RS232 of course, just to tie in with that thread too :-)
