Remember When...

[ememdee19]

Commodore 64

That was my very first computer!

 

[aps45819]

...and I have A/C in it too! And power windows! And I don't change oil anymore either! Nor tune ups nor rad flushes!

A/C, power windows and all the othere do-dads are cool. Just never could get used to the loss of control that comes with an automatic :shrug:

I'm trying to remember when...

Hey, I'm 33 and took it in school. Half the year was Health, half was Drivers Ed.

...they cut it out...???

 

[aps45819]

And they made you watch gory films. Ours was called "Red Asphalt."

"Blood on the Highway" and it was always kids goofing in the scenes leading up to the wreck, but it was old folks in the twisted metal

 

[Larry Gude]

I was raised on a farm...

A/C, power windows and all the othere do-dads are cool. Just never could get used to the loss of control that comes with an automatic :shrug:

...where everything was stick; tractors, dump trucks, delivery trucks and I got to drive everything. I remember when we got the first Cub Cadet Hydrostat tranny lawnmower...tore up some yard with that...then tore up the tran!

Sticks still fun once in awhile but, I don't miss it.

...they cut it out...???

Not sure. I just recently found out they don't offer it anymore.
It was our football coach and gym teachers that taught it also.

Let's not forget all the wonderful "head" shops!!

Oh I remember that, Baltimore, College Park, Ellicott City too. Black light poster, love beads, bells, incense, guys with long hair, acid rock.

 

[Dixie]

remember when a dime bag was really only a dime

Where were you shopping?

 

[sockgirl77]

Damn, 40 pages!

Remember when....you didn't have to wear sunblock!

 

[harleygirl]

Remember when....you didn't have to wear sunblock!

And you laid out in the sun for hours slathered with baby oil and iodine?

 

[sockgirl77]

And you laid out in the sun for hours slathered with baby oil and iodine?

I can remember a few idiots that I was in school with that baked their asses in Crisco.

 

[CandyRain]

Remember when you really thought Calgon could take you away?

Happy Hamburger

Air Travel...
No jetways, flight attendents were Stewardesses, wore suits and served meals. Smoking on the plane, and the "skys were indeed friendly"!

For a Sunday outing the family would drive to the Philly airport and just watch the planes come in and take off. Every once in a while we'd get to actually see one of those newfangled planes that had jet engines.

"Three-on-the-tree", can't forget transmission push-buttons (Rambler)

My brother bought a 59 Plymouth Fury. Push buttons and wings on the back.

Happy Hamburger

We used to walk there after school every Friday. What a crappy little place ours was. (In Indian Head)

 

[kwillia]

I always liked Burger Chef because they had chairs that would spin completely around.
