Huffy Green Machine H2O gives today's kids the firepower they need

huffyGMH2O.jpg

Back when I was a lad, nothing was cooler than rolling up to the neighbor kid's pad on your Big Wheel. Feeling like Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider, this was the ultimate in preschool hipness. Today's kids however need protection from bullies, girls, and other jealous six year olds, so for them, Huffy has added some firepower to their interpretation of the Big Wheel.

The Green Machine H2O might look pretty much like any regular Green Machine, but it includes a high power squirt gun with a pressurized trunk mounted water supply, and enough oomph to send a jet over twenty feet. That should be plenty to keep potential adversaries at bay.

If you need more firepower for patrolling your neighborhood, the Green Machine H2O is available now for about $100

Looks like something in the price range for the US Department of Defense...something they could send to Iraq to defend the troops and citizens.

This is actually an update of the original Green Machine... my neighbor had one when i was teeny (about 1976/77). It was always cooler than the Big Wheel; the main thing was that with that cool steering mechanism, you just cranked the levers at speed and spun out. Super fun.

Also, we said "cool" a lot in the 70's. And many things were colored orange for some reason.

The more you know...
