To be more specific for the younger ones here Festus...A service station is where you pulled your car up,and the attendant pumped the gas for you,washed your windows,checked the oil and tire pressure,and ran your payment into the office,and came back with your change.

YEP :9

I still have my atari 2600 :P For the record, it looks like shit on an HDTV.

Hell, before the atari, playing a video game meant getting some quarters and going to the gas station, bowling alley, or if you were uptown, an arcade.

What about only getting certain fruits and vegetables when they were in season... in this country. My kid eats strawberries weekly, he cant fathom only getting them twice a year, for like a month each.

Sleeping in the car as a kid during long drives by laying across the back seat, or the back window sill, whichever was open.

Being extremely pissed off wanting to drink a soda and not being able to find a bottle opener.

Going swimming meaning finding a river or pond.

Being able to fish in a river and actually eat it.

All true, but the long drive falls under the car with a trunk big enuf to fit five kids in it

They missed a big one in there.

Remember carrying change in your pocket so you could use a pay phone if you needed to call someone when you were away from home?

Remember when cell phone basically meant car phone, and a car phone was the size of a regulation football?
