Cycle Racer "Bumblebee"
I call these Lego Creations Cycle Racers. They all share the same basic design, but each one is unique in its own way. One thing that I think is cool about them is they don't flip over. If you look at the side view picture you will see that there is a foot that keeps the Cycle Racer balanced. They can also go really far when pushed. I tested four of them on a gym floor and was able to push them from one side of the gym to the other. Also, every Cycle Racer is actually two parts (as can be seen in the spit view).
The fire truck is one of my earliest creations. It is really split into three sections. The first area is the cab where the driver fits. Then, there is the equipment storage area which holds a saw, shovel, axe, wrench, jackhammer, and air tanks. There are also two drawers on the back that carry a screw driver, mallet, and two wrenches. Finally, there is the control room area of the truck. The fire truck also carries a crew of five firefighters and has many other features not listed here. However, most features can be seen simply by looking at the pictures above.

Black Truck
The Black Truck was another spin off of my other Jeeps. The main reason for the build was because I wanted to see if I could make a Lego truck that actually looked like a real truck. Although I can't say that it resembles one single model of truck, some features on the build look like they could come from certain models. The Black Truck also features the phony suspension like all the other Jeeps. It sits two Lego guys side-by-side with the top on. It also has four independent wheels rather than the duel solid axle design.
