Spring 2000, I was 7, and I was on a trip with my parents to San Francisco to try out some of America's luxuries. We rented a RV and stopped by at a K-Mart. I was bought this set and I played with it the entire 4 hour journey to Salt Lake City. I liked pulling back this car and it will go along the table and fall nose-first into the built-in cupholder. Great playability. This was my first Technic set.
