I remember when cars came without radio and heater, even back seats, as standard equipment. Ads would list the price “ Radio & Heater included!” 3-speed manual transmissions, shifter usually on the column, were standard even into the 70s.
Don’t recall exactly when, but sometime in the 60s, seatbelts and side mirrors became required equipment
What fresh Hell is this?

Watching Buzz and Tom drive around in a Corvette on "Route 66."

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

I remember getting a fountain coke, or a coke out of a vending machine for a nickel. Cigarettes were 25 cents in a vending machine.

They don't have those anymore? Remember the cups that were paper cones held in metal bases with a handle? Didn’t hold much soda and ice. Now you get Big Gulps that many can’t hold with one hand. No wonder we’re so fat.

I remember when electric vehicles were a distant memory.

King Leo peppermint candy
Coke came in 6.5 oz and 10 oz bottles
Putting watermelons in the pump house to get them cool
Ben Franklin stores.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
