I was raised on a farm just outside Columbus Ohio. Lots of land to play on and be a happy kid. We almost always had some sort of gas powered vehicle to play with. Two very vivid memories from said gas powered toys. The first involves me bringing my frozen mini bike into the house to thaw so that I could ride it on a cold winter day. So it sat in the house for an hour or so till I just couldn't wait any longer. Outside we went and what do you know, the throttle froze wide open as I was going as fast as possible!!! Oh yeah, no kill switch either, just a metal peice over the spark plug to ground it out!!! Talk about racing stripes in your shorts....wow!!!
The next involves me riding my go cart through an area that we kept one of our dogs chained up in. Well, we hadn't cleaned the dog poo up in quite some time and I decided to run my go cart through it. Half way through I cut the wheel hard and spun out in a bunch of poo which completely covered me!!! My dad was standing there watching the whole thing and I can tell you I've never seen him laugh so hard!!! I wasn't too happy but then again what kid likes to take a poo shower???
