Toward the end of my tonka truck phase, i was heavily into model rockets, and had a morotcycle (so gas was always around). One afternoon, I decided to combine my hobbies and strapped a d size rocket engine to the tonka concrete mixer which was filled with gas. went about 100' into a power pole. what a fire ball!!
BTW, i had a tonka loader the i wore out the scoop on when i was 5. My dad saved it for a long time.
I haven't grown up much, still work in construction, and as we speak, I haver a caterpillar d4 dozer in my side yard.
Glad I was born with the external plumbing option, becuase a flaming barbie doesnt seem like it would go very far with a d sized rocket engine on it, and wouldn't hold much gas.

AH! Good times!
I still remember my friend burning off his eyebrows playing with a rocket motor! Or the time we put a bull frog into a low orbit!

Being a boy was much more fun than being a girl. I tried my best at impersonating boys, though :)
