I think Hannah is racing this weekend at my local track, OMC, that I sponsor. This race has a huge turnout with a ton of old school champions. There is also the worlds steepest hillclimb going on while the race is running. Should be a great weekend.

Holy geese! I actually had one of these! I'm 50 and remember it like it was yesterday. Only think that didn't add up at the time, I saw my dad pull it out of the trunk of the car and then later they told me it was from Santa.
I'll be 50 on Saturday and still have mine :thumbup: :D

Technically it's Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alfred Pennyworth.

The lady is Harriet Cooper

I knew Bruce Wayne was played by Adam West. I also knew the full characters' names of the others in the picture... but couldnt tell you their real names.

Don't give me red ass about Space Food Sticks - they were cool as a kid to take up in the tree house and munch on with your friends as you flew your spaceship to the moon. Or jamb a bunch in your pocket when you rode your bike all over town because moms didn't shuttle their kids all over the place - that's why Santa gave us our bikes.
And Jonny Quest pretty bad ass for an action/adventure cartoon - You'd never get that past the TV censors today, it's way too violent and Haji is too stereotypical of the Indian people.

Do you really think I would have gone to all this fuckin trouble if that were true?

It's just the love of the job, as I understood it.

Imagine my relief to find out you weren't eligible!!!

Randall "Pink" Floyd getting out of Wooderson's Chevelle. Looks like that dick O'Banion is still there. :D

Pickford's Judge and O'Donnell's 72 shortbed.

Great movie! Dazed and Confused was to the 70's what American Graffiti was to the 60's. I graduated from high school in '74 and they really nailed it.

Alright, alright, alright! Just keep on livin!:D:thumbup:
