Look at What I Found! (Pics!)
 

*Note* I don't know if this is the correct forum, but I thought it fit nicely here since it's Old-School.

While camping down in southern Indiana, my girlfriend and I went to Edinburg, IN where they have a huge Outlet Mall and Antique mall. Well, while walking around, I found this nifty little ride.

For Those who can't see, it says "Turtle Turbo Power" and gives the tire "size."

It's been a week now, but I thought you would all appreciate it. I had been wanting to get these up for a while, but I've been working non-stop.

:lol: That's so cool, did you ride it?

Thanks for sharing.

I actually think these are fairly new. I found one in San Jose last year.

Thanks for ruining it for me Rose! ;) I didn't ride it, but if it weren't for the fact that there was Mall Security and Cameras I would have busted the damn change door open, left the quarters, and stolen the ride just to have in my house.

Haha. Well, it's still awesome. :D

Heh, that's cute.

I found these last summer in The Toy and Action Figure Museum in Paul's Valley,Oklahoma.

My ExGirlfriend and her friends went to that museum last year too I believe.

Strange that they would manufacture a retro turtle van for children considering most all children old enough to ride it would have no clue what it is

Cool, where in San Jose? I live near there.

I had no idea the turtles were so patriotic.

Also, the turtles are driving very fast for such a top heavy vehicle.

Oh, I'm not exactly sure. Huge, giant mall place. I've only been there the one time, and only because there was a Pokemon event going on. 8)

Aaaaaaah I think I may know where that is actually!

pretty neat... Well yeah, If they were from 1987 or start 90's they would probably be pretty trashed by now hehe...
So they are probably fairly new...

In the 'big' threeparter they leave splinter in the technodrome which is rolling towards ny just to stop a rocket from hitting mount rushmore with the words 'those unpatriotic gooseballs'.
Strangely the turtles are VERY patriotic (maybe just brownnosing the human race though). :p

The van looks cool btw, just not my size. ^^

Late 1980's or early 1990's
 

Maybe it's from the late 1980's or early 1990's.

It does seem way too new and clean and shiny to be from the 80s/early 90s.

Not that it makes it any less AWESOME!!!

Yeah, I took pics of one a month or so ago at a mall about a half hour from me. Unfortunately, they're on my cell, haha.

You got some nice, detailed pics, though.

Man I wish I could find something like that near me! Im small enough that I'd fit in one for sure. :lol:

I'm not, but I'd jump on top with the turtles.:D
