Gary Faules recently sent over this ad for a kit to stick an engine on a Radio Flyer. Anybody ever actually do this and live to tell the tale? Gary writes:

Have you ever wondered where or when it all began? I’m referring to the need to make things go faster. After all, a piece of cardboard fastened to the bicycle spokes may have made it sound faster but something inside of us had a need to feel a breeze on our face and cardboard wasn’t cutting it.

I responded to him with the following video.
