I saw the above photo posted on reddit today and was suddenly filled with raging, uncontrollable nostalgia. I could smell the little gas pump and feel deep down in my soul how the nozzle fit into the car. I could hear the *ding* *ding* *ding* of the bell as we cranked the car up the elevator and I could imagine turning the car around and around on the little rotating dais thingy on the top floor. If I close my eyes, I can remember racing Hot Wheels on the little track even though they didn't come with the garage. I can remember parking the cars neatly on the roof, and later in life, changing AFX tires, with a little oil, up there.
According to one reseller on eBay, FP released this in 1970, 1985 again in 1990. So it's quite possible many of us had the various versions.
The one pictured is the one I had. Who had this toy? Who misses it? Leave your interesting memories in the comments below. I'd also love to hear if you didn't have this toy, but had some other Fisher Price that, when you see it all these years later, really sends you into a nostalgic tailspin.
