Latest obsession. TONKAS!

I had that Texaco truck when I was a kid...my first visceral lesson that marketing people lie to you!

In the ad, the kids would lie down on the truck and it would roll and steer (like a skateboard). I opened it up Christmas morning and laid down on it. Imagine my disappointment when it didn't move! I think I was 4 or 5?

I found the ad!

So, tell me I wasn't lied to by Texaco's marketing guys! See how he just gets on the truck and off it goes?
