    I took my daughters to Cedar Point this weekend and my 5 year old drove me around in the Tin Lizzies. It made me look at them and think about how they were built, who built them and what one could do with them if it fell into a Hot Rodders hands. Anyone know about these things, history, and if anyone has ever played with one.

    I remember Cedar point many years ago. Our kids could ride all day at Beech Bend for around ten cents entry fee.
    These are old faded memories. Remember Indiana Beach on what I think is Lake Shafer? Remember cheap rides and camping many summers from our home in central Illinois.
    I also saw not long ago where they were converting old electric bumper cars into street legal tiny hotrods and customs. I believe in California.
    Nothing is really new. Like modern ideas, most of it's been done many years ago.
