Ever buy something and then the next day...

[Turbo-Torch]

One day you're 15 years old and drooling over a certain toy but it's so expensive it may as well cost a million dollars. You bust your azz off doing yard work, working in a grocery store and saving every penny and you end up buying the lesser cheap version of what you really wanted and it's the most kick azz thing you ever owned but you still can't help thinking about that deluxe model.

20 years pass and one day you're browsing Craigslist and holy crap there it is! It's now stuck in your mind. A few days later you email the guy and ask a few vague questions. A week passes and you decide to ask more questions. Now you're trying to think of reasons to justify buying this thing that will serve no purpose. Next thing you know you're pulling up to the owners house and part of you is hoping it's a POS...damn, it couldn't be more perfect, just as you remembered it. Ok, I'll sort of hit him with a low ball offer...he doesn't like it but his wife says ok.

Let's see if anybody can guess what maxi zoom dweebie thing I bought. I need to go out tomorrow and buy me a pocket protector and calculator watch.

Here's two hints (if you're an 80's kid you should get this one quick).
Devo is a sell out (and I don't mean a concert)
Pop up headlight

You ain't lived until you've taken a 200 lb piece of plastic with 10" tires in excess of 70 mph!

 

[GSXTacy]

Honda Elite?

 

[Turbo-Torch]

Honda Elite?

Yep...150 Deluxe.

She really screams with a TRE installed!

Ok so the Busa isn't the only thing that runs the gauges through a self test.

 

[KanjiBusa]

Nice congrats, didnt Sarah Conner drive one of those before the terminator came after her?

Thank god they let you know that you are looking at a clock!!! I would have gone crazy!!

I always wondered what happened to it...is the Azar Big Boy still looking after it?

There was also a chase scene with one in another movie, Better Off Dead maybe?

And in case nobody got the Devo reference:

 

[KanjiBusa]

HAHAHAHAHHA THAT COMMERCIAL IS HALARIOUS!!!

 

[Sloto200]

I havent seen one of those in years! Good find!!
