I hit a mail box with a bowling ball out a moving car once. Concrete wouldn't have saved it.

If American TV and movies have taught me anything, it's that a) smashing mailboxes is a fun teenage pastime and b) you motherfuckers must have been bored.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Vandalism is always fun in your early teens. Funnily enough I think we outgrew the petty crimes by the time any of us could drive, so smashing mailboxes was never really thing. But playing drinking and driving drinking games and blowing out windows of parked cars with beer bottles sure was.

We.....we were really stupid kids.

We stole it from a local alley, took in an empty bowling bag and nicked one. We tried multiple times to hit a mailbox but it's actually difficult to hit a mail box out the back of a car at about 40mph. We would miss the throw, then follow the ball as it rolled about 2 blocks through people's lawns, then pick it back up. Eventually I made a hit and we just left the ball there. Checked the next day and it left a hilarious bowling ball sized crater in the mailbox but even knock it over. We were very bored that summer and AOL was new.

There's also a bunch of stories of people injuring breaking their arms and/or crashing when they tried to smash a reinforced mailbox, and CSI even did an episode about it.

I forgot game gear had one. TG16 was a really solid system and it’s sad that literally no one has ever done anything like it except maybe the switch if you squint really hard. 30 years later.

I looked up TG16 but I didn't see anything unique or interesting about it.

TG16 had a portable version you could get separately that used the same cartridges as the stationary console.

Eventually maybe, (name one besides the switch though) but at the time a sixteen bit console in your hand that could play Keith Courage or whatever their metroidvania knockoff was was impressive.

TG16 sucked rear end. It had some fun games but why on earth would you get that and not a SNES or Mega Drive?
Bonk was so naff they had to invent Johnny Turbo as their mascot.

eh, it was no worse than the Genesis, a system which also had few good exclusives besides Sonic, and was filled with generic beat 'em ups and sports games.

Growing up one of my neighbors got sick and tired of the teenage hoodlums running over everyone’s snowmen with their cars every winter so one year he built one directly over a fire hydrant. I didn’t t see the crash but I’m told it was legendary. They stopped running over snowmen after that .

My dad told me of a similar incident involving leaf bags/piles that frequently got plowed through and scattered by teens, with the same solution.

I have an uncle who was a traffic cop for years. He now teaches traffic safety courses to commercial drivers and is full of stories (and he has enough of them that he never needs to tell the same one twice)

One of his I remember is a high speed crash that struck a fire hydrant, and the hydrant just disappeared. It was dark and they couldn't find it for a long time. Turns out it had flown over the neighbor's fence and bullseyed directly into their pool.
