One of those old blue peddle cars down a steep hill, and did at least a couple of flips and rolls, but the doors were welded on, so they didn't fly off like in the movies. Back then, them peddle cars were made of thick durable steel and the only scratchs, cuts, dents, and stitched repairs were on me. My older brother and his buddies shouldn't have pushed me down that hill in the first place, nor should they have said, "Don't worry, you won't get hurt"...and then laughed, "He's going to get killed" as soon as I took off down the hill. Glad I wasn't wearing a seat belt or I would've been killed for sure...it was a convertable. We also used to take turns climbing trees while the others cut them down. The thought was that you could jump out/off just before they hit the ground and not get hurt. It worked in the cartoons. Guess that's why they were cartoons. No wonder Mom had grey hair by the time she turned 29, eh? Ahhhh, to be a kid again. First tractor drove was an H, and it wasn't down a steep hill either.
