I had a mini bike. We used to ride in the cemetery behind my neighborhood. There was a paved 1/8 mile flat road for the maintenance crews. When we were out of school and weekends they were rarely there. So we made good use of it. (During the daylight hours of course)
Anyone else try smashing the roll of caps with a rock??? Then smashing their finger with said rock??? Damn that hurt! 
How about those old roller skates?

What about the old SSP cars with the wind up "whips". Including the demolition derby cars as well.
And don't forget Silly Putty!

The SSP cars where you "Rip" the cord to release them and rev them up. I've been trying to remember what they were called. Of course Silly Putty too. There were another type of cars, that you pulled them backward several times to wind them up and then let them go. The more you revved them up the faster they went. Can't remember the name.
How about the simple old Match Box cars? You used to be able to buy a small metal version of that car you dreamed about. I bought a few for my son the other day. Half of them were plastic and almost none of them were current production cars like I remember buying. I did have to get him this when I saw it though.

lol! Remember them all. Also, the balsawood airplanes that you put together and flew, Este rockets, those little plastic planes you launched with a rubber band, and my favorite was the evil knievel motor cycle.
Had me rooting around again . There's a motorcycle that goes with it , but it wasn't in the bag . It's here somewhere . I have several , all date from 1965 to 1968 . Got them new when I was a kid .
Loved the balsa wood planes . Rockets too , but they got expensive fast .
Bear Jr has well over 100 little cars, all Matchbox & Hot Wheels.
Mrs Bear started buying a couple every year for him, when he was little.
She still buys them, and he'll be 50 next year. Most of them are still in the unopened package they came in.
