in the 70s, Toys of the Seventies

Comments left:	hi everyone.. I just awoke from a dream (middle of the night here) about a toy I had from when I was quite little.. I don't remember much from it- only how it DIED.. While in play, I "drove" it across my dad's face and it snagged his beard.. it ceased to exist after that.. The toy itself was a little battery-operated plastic "moon car"; orange body and with blue tinted windows.. the unique thing about this toy was it had a magnet under its 6 little (rubber?) wheels and rode in a metal upright (vertical) track that had moon scenes imprinted on it and with orange (or blue) plastic outer trim.. the car could ride on the inside or outside of the track- upside down and all.. was a neat little thing. It appeared in a dream (okay it was a nightmare!) and I awoke and thought I'd try googleing this thing but to no luck! I want to say it was called "moon patrol" or "moon buggy"... I believe this toy is from the late 60s to very early 70s as I could have not been more than 5 years old.. (and boy, was my father ticked!) Also, here's one for ya, I saw this mentioned in a few posts above.. about the Krazy Kar and that.. someone asked about "a ride-able that was similar to a Bigwheel, but with bigger oversized wheels and a seat in the middle..." you controlled it with LEVERS.. This thing was called a "Green Machine" and I was a TERROR on that thing! :) I hope this helps someone out there!
