1966 Dodge Coronet 440. It would pass anything but a gas station.

Oops....I forgot to mention: the earliest were the HotWheels and Matchbox cars w/ track set-ups .
My brothers and I used to play hours every day looooong before I ever learned to drive.

'74 Super Beetle...that car was so slow, it definitely made me long for more speed But have to give proper props - it was a great drift car in the snow!

I had one of those too. No speed on the road but off road... I finally broke mine racing a dune buggy. Slipped into a rut in a high speed drift and gave it about 40 degrees of positive camber. Too much rust to fix. Lost the clutch cable once 100 miles from home. I'd shut it off at stop signs / lights, start it in first gear and go from there.
