I hated every single person that had Optimus Prime. I only got some half-assed decepticon racing car toy that I don't even remember his name.
This has made me a bitter and angry person.

you know, i really loved cars, but since i got a license actually driving them bores the fuck out of me. I also find them really ugly now, i only like their aesthetics from the '20 to'60 roughly.

All the cool stuff we wanted when we were a kid usually ends up sucking ass when we can do it/get it

Well, driving in reality is sadly short on high speed chases, jumps, and car to car combat so it's not surprising that it can't live up to most childhood expectations (or maybe just mine then)

By the way - what's that website supposed to be, anyway? All I get is some Japanese text sans pictures

As far as things you wanted as a kid:

this was the Holy Grail of my childhood (and that of every other male child around my age). I knew of one kid that had it - lucky bastard.

It's more driving in general for me. I despise it.

I just assumed all the rich kids had one.

Really? Any particular reason??

I never had Greyskull but the kid across the street did - honestly it kinda sucked (even as a kid)

I did however have this:

The Fortress of Fangs!

Looks gay in the picture but it had this spiked wall that crushed guys and a trap door that dropped people into a prison section below. It was coooollllll

That thing looks like a device used to bite little boys cocks off

I always wanted one of these:

Yeah.

Traffic + idiot drivers = high blood pressure.

Me? So far, nothing, I still liked all the stuff I liked when I was a kid. Time doesn't bother me and doesn't make me a bitter old man

Your taste in woman hasn't changed since you were nine so why should anything else?

Eh, I can recall wanting various stupid toys and stuff when I was a kid (most of which my parents were sensible enough to deny me). One thing I do recall wanting is a Game Gear, just because a friend of mine had one and it had Sonic games on it. In retrospect I can see that I was pretty stupid as a kid...
