Not my first driver but Ive driven one we had an old hay truck set up like this.
My first driver was a ton and a 1/4 army jeep with the starter on the floor.

 

About driving......anyone remember when opening the driver door was a signal you were turning.???

How about arm signals before blinkers came out. Left arm straight out the window = left turn, left arm out the window bent up at the elbow = right turn, left arm out the window and hanging down = stopping.

If you were driving in this era you are really old. haha Still got your keys???

 

That explains all the old people driving down the highway with their arm sticking out the window and their right turn signal blinking. they are trying to cancel the turn signal.

 

Haha That's good.

 

After reading the list and remembering almost 98% of it, makes me wonder what the generation coming up now is going to look bsck on.

Then raises the question, If you could go back, knowing what you do now, would you??

 

"do you remember when it was legal to have your pants around your knees in public?"
remember when music was "thump""ThumP""THUMP"

 

duh. I'd put all my dough in Microsoft and retire at 30.

...and I'd play a lot more golf with my dad.

...and I wouldn't date ol' what's her name either, that was a nightmare.

 

you almost took the words right out of my mouth lol, that one girl I dated was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. But I think I've found the one I want to be with now. But I would also spend more time with my father.

 

I didn't feel so old till I realized,that I remember every one of those things.Anybody have a walking stick I can borrow.

 

Kinda long, but pretty darn good.

Crob...I re-lived every darned second of that piece.Kudos for finding it.Well done!

 

I don't remember seeing Blackjack chewing gum. I always bought Bazooka Joe so I could read the comic. Remember the old TV sets. My Dad would take me to People's Drug Store on Mount Vernon Avenue and test all the vacuum tubes so he could replace the ones that went bad so we could watch one of the the three channels available in the D.C. area. I had to walk to school. Never rode a bus, only my "english" three speed bicycle that I "hot rodded" by taking the fenders off after I started High School. It didn't do much good though. The baskets on the rear for the newspapers slowed me down a lot. I still have my old Tonka fire trucks and my American Flyer train set. I still play with them today, with my grand daughters. Life was so much simpler then. I guess we grew old. sniff.
