I fibbed a little, the actual toy version I have, still debating to order a black body for it: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/e/2/e293c6f826e7218560bddb1e25a720ac4e7cb6a5.jpeg) ---

I had quite a few M.A.S.K. vehicles growing up (I was more a Transformers/G.I. Joe guy). The Buzzard was one of the last ones they did. Coincided with the toned down 2nd season of the cartoon show IIRC. ---

> [@FoDaddy](#): > > I had quite a few M.A.S.K. vehicles growing up (I was more a Transformers/G.I. Joe guy). Our generation was kind of the last hurrah for good vehicle-based transforming toys. Shortly after I lost interest in such things, Transformers decided Optimus Prime was no longer a semi, but instead was some sort of gorilla. I suspect even 7-year-old me would have found that too stupid to play with. 😉 ---

I’ll take Captain Scarlet’s SPV (Security Pursuit Vehicle) with the rocket launcher. Just the thing for driving on the Schuylkill Expressway. ![IMG_0871](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/2/32006f64f10aa97eb001a6ac0676ff10ff7fc1ce.jpeg) Ed B. ---

Not car related, but in 1976 my girlfriend (soon wife) went shopping at the mall in OK City before Xmas. She came home with a gift wrapped present for my birthday. Apparently some guy in a kiosk was hand making glass items and she described a chopper motorcycle I had owned earlier. An hour later she picked the bike up. It’s about 8 inches long and extremely delicate. He even added the clutch/brake handles to it which would snap if breathed on. It’s managed to survive for 45 years without damage. It’s kind of a reverse situation since the “toy” followed the real motorcycle… As for a real working car; a Bugatti Chiron, Veyron, or Divo. Not picky; just want to be the fastest dog on the block. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/0/7/07129426c9158d2f098ea13e6a3eb83e1d597188.jpeg) [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/if-you-could-have-a-working-life-size-model-of-any-toy-car-what-would-it-be/178878.md?page=1)
