other things i remember.... getting woke up in the middle of the nite to the sound of cars drag racing on the quarter mile strip of the state hwy by my house and watching to see who won. some nites 150 cars lined the road. going to the drive in riding in the trunk one pays three for free in the 69 impala trunk. going to the article circle drive in once in every six months and all the above racers were there , dad would walk right thru them and we would wait in the car until he brought each one of us a chocolate shake. being so exited about xmas that you couldn't sleep and being thrilled to get a pocket sized am radio. wow.

 

I can't remember when I had a memory... Which brings me to my Alzheimer's joke... but I can't remember that either...

Some things I do remember are the cards we used to put on our bikes with clothes pins so that they made the motorcycle sound when hitting the spokes. Riding the Radio Flyer wagon down the big hill on our street, and crashing at the bottom. Getting my first car, a '73 Dodge Dart. Gas for $0.69/gal. Getting cable TV and also an Atari game console.

 

Do you remember when...

DTR was DodgeDiesel.com??

 

Now thinking what some of those baseball cards that we tore up would be worth.........

 

Laying on the rear window shelf and hoping Dad would have to stop quick.
Watching Sheriff John's lunch brigade and getting excited when he said your name.

I remember others but um um um What was the question again??????

 

I remember when the only thing I had to worry about was what party I was goin to go to that night.

Gas Wars

First 40 hour paycheck $26 after taxes (.85 per hour) cashed and spent in 10 minutes at Radio Shack

Getting our first big screen TV.....19" black and white portable

being able to name every car that went past our house

 

I remember going to Seattle to see Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and they looked younger than my parents.

I remember buying gas for $.25 a gallon.

I remember "Lassie" being my favorite show along with Rawhide and Combat. My dad let me watch 'em but don't tell my mom.

Me and my friend Harry used to go down to the Fuji $.05 store and look at all their stuff. Sometimes they had big-time yo-yo players come and entertain us.

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If I only knew then what I know now...

 

I remember when Gas was under $1.00
when No one I knew had a Cell Phone
when TV was for education
when kids played outside instead of video games inside
PONG was the only Video game around

etc, etc, etc...

 

remember when this was a "small" cellphone?


and this was considered portable?

 

...when dodge changed the body style in '94
