Spitfire...
Kids usded to grab the rear bumpers of cars and slide on their feet behind the car, we called it "hookee-bobbin'". Of course, nowadays cars don't have bumpers, so those options are out.

OMG, Food4T,
You rock. So do your stories. I totally relate to this except I never tried the sledding on mags thing. We used to go skitchin' in Chicago. See, we would attach a homemade "sled" to that back of a bumper of a car and skitch down the street. Totally illegal...moreso with Ma. She always knew when we were skitchin' and would say, "OK! All you kids strip! All clothes go straight into the laundry room. Hot chocolate is on the stove. Punishments will be given momentarily!!!" Yeeks! God, I miss those days!! Especially when Ma would yell at my brothers, "And who was drivin' when Spitfire was skitchin'?"
