stealth bomber Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 My mother had a "paddle stick" made out of like 3/16" wood paneling. It was a novelty item but she thought it was the real deal. She could wail on my back side with that thing and it just made some noise, never felt a thing. One day I burst out laughing while she was wailing on me with it, she then started wailing harder and the stupid thing broke in two. When I saw it had broken, I literally fell on the floor I was laughing so hard. Fuck was she pissed. I think that was the day she gave up. Poor woman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 When I was 12 I had an 8 foot 3 pt. hydro with a Mercury KG7 and KG4 "Quikie"Hurricane, and around the same time a Go Kart that started out as a 4-1/2 HP which I then installed a 20 HP Mercury out board with a car heater core as a radiator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckin thing had little towns, crossings, mountain tunnels ..the whole shebang. We were not allowed to play with it,but I did one day and inadvertently broke something. I blamed my brother...fucker got a whooping with a hot wheels track LOL! Those Hot Wheel tracks bring back bad memories, that was my mom's go to weapon when the old man was at work and me my younger brothers were acting like uncontrollable animals.

I'm amazed most even know how to ride a bike. I rode all over Sterling Heights as a kid....miles from my house and back When I was in middle school my Schwinn Contienental was my prized possession...we lived 7 miles from town and I rode that fucker back and forth constantly right down the shoulder of M66...hell not sure I would do that today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not the 350, but it was still a lot of fun restoring. Always wanted one, and it was such a ragged out piece of shit, I had to drag it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
