And it was December 26. Just saying....
I remember drooling over the go-carts they had in the catalog. But my parents were financially challenged back in those days. I didn't even have a Big Wheel
LOL...We lived in a hilly neighborhood and built our own outta wood. A 2X4 for the front axle,a center bolt and 2 ropes for steering,lawnmower wheels attached with gutter nails and a broom handle through the plywood floor for a brake! We could top 30MPH with our gravity fueled cars!

I don't think he noticed or cared for that matter.....
I'm laughing my azz off reading about all my mistakes last night. The killer is that it was the wrong thread! :rofl: What a dumb azz! Believe it or not, I was building a lego Excavator I got for Christmas until about 3:30. Yep, a 37 year old playing with legos.:sifone: It's freekin' cool. 720 pieces and almost 100 pages of instructions. Took almost 6 hours to build. Maybe 5 if I wasn't drinking. Wish I could post a pic.

A few years ago my wife got me a lego Harley for Christmas.
I spent the entire day putting it together.
Sorry, lego's are still cool, and I'm 37 too...
I think I'm gonna buy the Lego Bulldozer. Looks more complex than the one I built last night and will go well together. About 25 years ago they had a track loader that I wanted badly. By the time I could afford it, they stoped making it. I looked on e-bay last night for one - to no avail.
I also have a fully articulated helicopter my x gave me for Christmas about 10 years ago. You aught to look up the Excavator I built last night. It's model #8294. www.lego.comWhen I was a kid, my parents would not put out the big bucks for real legos. I had some Sears knock-offs.
I still built stuff with them most every weekend. I knew I wanted to be a builder by the time I was 8.

I remember christmas at a girl friends house, I would be on the floor with the kids building stuff ,and they would think, "what a nice guy, taking time out to play with the children" but in reality it was all about the legos, I'd be pushing kids out of the way to get certain blocks.
Yep. I'm hoked! I may not be rich right now, but at least I can afford real legos!!! :26:
lol! I went to wal-mart today looking for more legos (it's like crack!). Saw two more I wanted but held off to order the mack-daddy motorized bulldozer. Went to buy it online and found out it is not available in the states. To try and make a long story short, my best bud is in England for a few more days and I'm gonna try to get him to bring it back for me. I called their 800# and was greeted by a beautiful sounding American college girl. Incredible service!!! She gave me two web sites for old school legos and everything else I asked for. No fuking Indians!!! Very, very impressed!
