If you stick a penny in the back will it do a wheelie, too?

Glad to know I’m not the only old-ass person here who thinks the same thing.

Penny Racers were the shit.

I still have the one I got in probably '82/83. Black semi tractor with a rotating spoiler instead of a trailer and that's where you could clip a penny to make it do tricks.That thing got a lifetime of use and abuse and it still works great.
