Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2015 9:37 pmRemember those Revell steel crown gears (1960s)? I had one in a jalopy and when I landed on top of a guy's '32 sedan, it carved up the roof before it slowed down. I was mortified. It never crossed my mind that could happen. But he wore it like a medal. The carved up paint on his roof was a mainstay for us for years.
