Quoted from cottonm4:

You know you are old when you remember taking driver education class in high school and you got to watch...
Signal 30 !
How many remember all of the old cars ?

Quoted from o-din:

I was seven years old when the 60s ended, so what I remember from that decade is the first run of Hot Wheels, the golden era of Saturday morning cartoons, slot cars and electric trains, Diver Dan, the dawning of the age of Aquarius, Schwinn Stingrays, a mile long group of hippies walking down the street with signs, and riding in the back of the station wagon with no seat belts. And of course pinball machines every where.
I'm sure I missed a few things, but it is late.

Quoted from o-din:

The only thing I have left that I got in the 60s are a few photos and my Odd Rod stickers.

Quoted from jibmums:

Years ago, our local Hostess outlet store would run a set of coupons in the paper - boxed snacks $2 each, individually wrapped snacks 25¢ each, boxes of cookies etc. I would use every single coupon and come home with bags full of cupcakes and fruit pies and suzie q's and ding dongs..... it was glorious.

Quoted from neemypeemy:

Say what you want, but i'm 24 and know/remember 90% of this stuff

Quoted from rollitover:

You left out the classic...
"Back in my day..."
But then I suppose you have to be REALLY old for that one!

Quoted from cottonm4:

Yeah, and they don't make cars liked they used to. Used to be if the car was a convertible and the top got torn, then is was salvage yard curtains. 50,000 miles and you needed an engine overhaul. 60,000 miles and the transmission went out. In 3 years of being on the road the paint job was gone. And you were lucky the car was not a bucket of rust.
Yeah, they don't make them like they used to. I sure do miss buying a car with 36 monthly payments only to watch the car self-destruct after that last payment was made

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

I went to the beer store in my pajamas today....I just didn't care., that's a sign right?

Quoted from o-din:

I used to order from there way back in the day. Got a convertible top for my Galaxie 500 XL from them and the catalogs never stopped coming... well they finally did stop coming.
This whole parts deal with the Jeep and the record heat is making me take pause on the project. That and drinking out in the garage till 3:00 AM.

Quoted from o-din:

When I built my last 401 powered CJ7 about 15 to 20 years ago, I installed a T-18 4 speed out of a full size truck using Novak's input shaft kit. Been so long I had forgotten where I got it till yesterday. To top it off, the trucks had 11 inch clutches and at the time I had to search super hard, but found one and put it in the CJ.
Everything else for the engines and such came from a one stop PAW catalog. I have certain brands of parts I like to use and there is no more one stop shop to get them all at a good price. I've ordered from so many different sellers over the last couple weeks I lost track. And the new version of the 11 clutch is now a worthless piece of made in Korea junk that wasn't assembled correctly and won't work with an AMC flywheel period. And the pilot bearing is also off a bit. I'm just going with whatever Novak has for a 10.5 clutch now. The 11 inch is now officially obsolete.

Quoted from o-din:

Almost all those cool little independent auto parts stores with a machine shop in the back that sold the best quality parts are mostly history around here now. .

Quoted from rollitover:

Went to Whities yesterday, as in Castle.
Got a #1Combo: 4 sliders, fry, pop and
a medium onion chip. Just under $10.
You know you are old when...
You can remember getting 3X more
for 3X less than what I paid.
Fast food ain't what it used to be
that's for sure.

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

You know your old when you take your dog for a walk and find a Un used pooper scooper
In someone's recycling bin. So happy I raised it in the air like a conquering centurian!

Quoted from cottonm4:

How many remember when people had front yard lighst that were lit with gas? 24/7 those gas lights stayed lit. And now, come to think of it, I have not seen a front yard light in either gas or electric for years.

Quoted from DanQverymuch:

I hate movies with constant unrealistic escapes from death, superheroes or not.
Just semi-suffered through WW84 before it goes away from HBOMax after today. .

Quoted from swampfire:

You know you’re old if you remember cops pulling up on you when you were drinking underage in your car with your girlfriend, and they just poured it out and told you to go home.

Quoted from Dent00:

My wife is not strong enough to hold the weight of a 5 gallon gas can and simultaneously hold an interlock button.
That makes it where I am the only person that gets to use the stupid thing and I hate it and refuse to use it.
The whole situation becomes dangerous to the point where gas can be spilled and is just stupid.
Our government at work to "improve" our lives.
If that makes me old, so be it.

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

Wonder when they will display Big road signs like gas stations bartering the best price

Quoted from o-din:

Sadder than that and less in the news is we lost one of our landmarks last week. One of the giant WWII hangars down in Irvine. I remember when those were the only things that were there. Now I hear asbestos has filled the air.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from o-din:

At least we still got our Jeeps.

Quoted from o-din:

When you wake up in the middle of the night and turn on Cannon, then you hear the Jaws attack theme during one upbeat moment, and you wonder which came first.
Not sure that makes you old, but watching reruns of Cannon at three in the morning probably does while you wait for Barnaby Jones to come on.
