Water Guzzlers 

Does anyone remember the little water guzzler cars from the 80s? I remember the Nicolis next door had a little green VW beetle. It had a little spout on top that you could fill up with gas (water) ... and it would run across the floor. Fun stuff. Believe it or not, I've tried searching eBay for one and I COULDN'T FIND IT. Unbelieveable. I was watching TV and saw that weebles are coming back. The weebles wobble song was in Emily's head all day today and she was nice enough to share it with my head so it could get stuck there too. Man, if they're bringing weebles back, they aught to bring back water guzzlers. That's all I know.

Ahhh... my eBay searches were not completely fruitless, however. I did manage to find a great looking Air Jammer Road Rammer. My second favorite 80s toy and my first-favorite 80s toy name.

If it were 1980 all over again my christmas list would be about 2 miles long!

Also, what in God's name is an air jammer road rammer?!

I can only link to the image in a comment.

I actually had one of these. I don't know if you remember it. It was great fun in the basement!!

Yes, the weebles are back. Andrew has a weebles firetruck with a little weeble firefighter.

However, they look different than the weebles of our day. They're fatter and they're not completely smooth. I suppose the little eggs of our day were a big time choking hazard.

Honestly, it's a wonder any of us are alive. ;-)

A VW bug you gas up? Wow, we never had anything that cool.
