The ones who do, of course.

oh hell yes! I wanted the Grasshopper so bad but we were poor as shit. I had some knock-off that I drove daily until a cousin of my neighbor ran it over with his 3 wheeler because he thought it would be funny.

"I was only able to rock these little guys back in '82 I think?"
—stoplyingThose were called —quite inappropriately now that I think about it— 'Rough Riders' here in England.
Fucking loved them - had at least three of these..
I think I had a couple of the last one.
I know that I—as a fucking idiot six year old— drove one across my head and as a consequence got a load of hair wrapped around the wheels. Dad had to scissor it out. Mother was not pleased.

to be honest, I always wanted this..
the last one i purchased was back in the late 90's, picked up a Civic .. painted with a jar of autopaint I found in my mums car, stripped the stickers way back so it was basically just a few MUGEN stickers and from memory I chopped the chassis support pegs so it sat lowered..
amazing on the road, completely useless as soon it as it went off road..
