The names of the toys – Turnin’ Turbo Dashboard; Fun-To-Drive Dashboard – might not ring any bells.
Cue reams of nostalgic commenters flung back into their playground days, when kids could be kids and sit alone all summer playing 100-mile-an-hour driving simulator without prompting any hand-wringing or moralistic wailing.
The Tomy Turnin’ Turbo seems to be the one everyone remembers, so let’s take a look at that one first.
I’d love to give this to some of the kids of today and see what they make of it.
The Reddit user in question actually appears to have been in possession of the rarer Playmate 1985 Fun To Drive, which by virtue of being modelled on a Corvette, operates in a kids’ driving simulator class of its own!
