No doubt you were the baddest MOFO on the block with the green machine. I was all about AFX in those day's.

i can't believe i never had one of those. it looks like the best thing i've ever seen.


and i can only imagine the outrage if they tried advertising it like that today.

Born in 74. I remember most of that stuff but never got to play with it. Damn welfare! I remember just going out in the yard and digging a deep hole in the ground just so I could stand in it. If I was lucky I'd come across a big cardboard box so I could make a fort and sit in it. Had to make the best of things back then.
I was poor.
