I'm sure you can pick up some weebils on Ebay.

I was longing for the SSTs of my youth (the toy cars with the heavy fly wheel and the rip cord, that go about a thousand miles an hour), and found dozens of them there. Bought myself a mint condition purple one with jets on either side.

But I learned that the toys of your youth are considerably smaller than you remember them. It's still fast though.

If I get weebles though I'll need one of these too http://www.trebuchet.com/kit/tabletop/

Like I said, weebles are for hurling.

I remember SSTs, very cool.

My son (now 38) went to a babysitter when he was 5 for a couple of years in Milford, Ohio outside Cincinnati; her husband was the development engineer for that toy. Jeff had several of the prototypes - alas, they're all long gone now.

Ohhhhh, man, I loved my old SST. I had an orange one that looked like Breedlove's "Spirit of America." My brother had a cool red dragster looking one....
