One year, I was playing with one of my presents, an Evel Knievel stunt motorbike toy.
You would place this thing on it’s ramped stand, wind the wheel & watch the fucker zoom across the floor. Trouble was, the Evel that “rode” the bike was just a plastic action figure & thus, had zero steering ability. This proved to be a fatal design flaw given the velocity at which it sped across the room.
A tragedy occurred when the toy slammed into my brother’s hamster cage, the front wheel jamming into the bars, poor Bongo, his little heart couldn’t take the shock, the toy was immediately confiscated, buried in the garden alongside the fallen hamster. My brother mourned while I played Buckaroo, another present, time heals :D
