Don't try this at home, this was made by a generation that was tough as nails, didn't play video games, have time outs, or get a trophy for participating (thanks Steve!)


this is now my new favorite photo!

An aircooled outboard powered pedal car... very cool!

    Must have been an air cooled engine. But its brilliant, and probably took all of an hour or so to set up.
