Default Re: OT: The Good Old Days

you could fill your car up with gas for $1.00 and drive all day

go to the cornor drug store and get a nickle rootbeer at the food counter

gas was 17 cents a gal

ciggeretts were 15 cents a pack

going to the show was 25 cents

drive inns were everywwhere and you snuck in hiding in the trunk

your car could get hit by another and only get a dent

kids used their imagniation for toys and playing

you built forts in the woods and slept out without someone calling you in as suspicious punks

very few people watched TV, (most didn't have one)

sitting at the table at night listening to the radio shows,
hopalong cassidy, green hornet, the shadow, amos and andy

a new ford mustang was only $750, $1000 for convertable

mcdonalds burgers were 7 cents

mcdonalds franchise was only $15,000

cruising parking lots of the local big boy restraunts

kids actually worked on their own cars



ahhhhhh, the good old days
