I miss the small triangle shaped vent windows that trucks used to have and the vent knob that actually let tons of fresh air in the floor vents.

I miss both of my grandfathers and grandmother very much. I wish my kids could know them like I do.
I don't eat anything that didn't have a mother.

Was just telling the ol'lady that I missed both of those. Have the wings on my old Ford still. Another thing I miss is a true service station instead of a gas station/mini mart. Maybe because my old man owned one. But sure seemed like you actually knew people better back then. I used to be the kid that would check your tires and fluids while pumping your gas. Self serve gas pumps were the beginning of the end in my mind. Oh, and real barber shops. Still a few around, but not many.

Parents that actually expected something of their kids, instead of just being the Entertainment Directors on their Cruise Through Life.... Ex- wife expected nothing of her kids. Lo and behold, she wasn't disappointed, they lived up to expectations....

AMEN to the barber shop. I have been wanting to go to barber school for about 10 years.

Entertainment before movies - cartoons or short features instead of endless commercials. Stewardesses. Pretty stewardesses. Sexy, young, well groomed, polite stewardesses serving you real food (okay, we can argue about that  ) with real metal knives and forks for no extra charge. People dressing up to fly. Carrying my shotgun in a soft case up the stairs to the plane, having the stewardess put it in the coat closet and then hand it back to me as I got off the plane. At age 16, no less.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Gun shop owners who actually know their products, and are not trying to make a sale. They just answered the questions, and made suggestions and let the customers decide.
Real Ice Cream.
Bacon from the store that actually has meat in it, not just fat.

Petticoat Junction, Green Acres,.... Good grief! I only threw up in my mouth. Had you hit the trifecta by including the Beverly Hillbillies, I would have spewn all over the keyboard!

A big [bleep] yes to both of those things. Add vehicles without stability control, real bumpers, and that's just a couple things on vehicles alone. Ton of other things, but I lament the wingdows and vents repeatedly.
