The Original Old Farts Club

I saw the first planet of the apes film at a drive thru as a kid. Not many of them around anymore

we would have 3 carloads. They used to charge by the car. Then sometime in the 80s they started charging by person.

They always charged by the person at the entrance here, but that's what trunks were for.

We still have a drive in a couple towns over. Two screens and everything.
I have not been to it in years, though.

You could get two decent sized teenagers or three skinny ones in the trunk of my Impala without it even squatting. Always pulled out the trunk light so as not to tip off the ramp man.

I don't do trunks and I wouldnt go in a car that had people in the trunk. Id be skeered

I miss the old drive in movies. Started out in the back seat of my parents Oldsmobile and finished up in the back seat of my Chevy with my soon to be bride. Good times.

I still have the speaker I drove away with on an older car when the window never broke

I had a 1072 Ford E100 Van, I would take 2 empty frig boxes and fill them with my friends and drive in alone, had 8 people 4 in each box. They guy thought I was strange going to the drive in alone LOL
He realized I was the rosterman

No thanks I have enough hoarders here. I don't need to see more.

First date with my now wife was at the drive-in in her '65 VW Beetle.

Have to be a contortionist to do that

 

[Hippie420]

That's what I liked about the Chevy. You really didn't even need to hit the back seat. The front bench seat (remember those?) would push back and allow enough room for a small orgy.
I often think about buying another '68 Impala, but at the moment, I don't have an extra 50K to blow. Besides, ya just can't go back. We're all marching the same direction.

 

[Hippie420]

Spent an honest 4 hours in the saddle mowing the back field. Didn't finish it, but what I missed will be there tomorrow, I'll guarantee. I was planning on making hobo dinners over a campfire tonight but I ran outta steam. Might get a second wind, but I'm not counting on it.

hey folks. still see some old faces here. i noticed i joined in 2014, in september that will make 10 years since i started the first feeble attempts to grow this wonderful plant we love so much. lot has changed in that ten years. so many old faces i remember when i was first learning. gone for one reason or another. some faces, good riddance...
i have forgotten what 26 years old felt like. 36 aint bad but i have to wonder if i have already crossed my peak... mentally, no. body wise, afraid it is close if i haven't already. still working on trucks, but making plans to move to a more desk based job in a year. i'm feeling this hard work, and i want to slow down and work less.

 

[Hippie420]

All downhill from here, Brother. Wait 'til yer Hopper's age!
