Where were these toys when I was a kid?

My son got this Max tow truck for his birthday this weekend. It said it would pull 200 pounds. So today I out it to the test. I put my wife in an old toy shopping cart and gave it a shot. Total weight of everything was just under 150 pounds.

I had to put a rock on top of the truck to give it a bit more traction but it worked great.

That is cool. Your wife looks like she is having a good time.

She has a good time when she rides about anything!!!! Except roller coasters.

I'd need about 10 of those hooked in tandem to pull my fat arse.

When I was in high school way back when, we would mod Stomper trucks and have tractor pulls with them! It was a pretty big deal back in the olden days!
