Did it make your hair curly???? LOL
I crawled under the bed once to plug something in when I was a kid, and got shocked. Bad thing was I hit my head on the underside of the bed. Ouch!

I never thought for a minute that those little sissy cassette tapes would replace my macho 8-track. Anyone remember being able to splice your 8-track tape when it broke and then being able to give it that fast jerk to take up the slack in the tape? AHHH...those were the days. I had a red 1972 dodge charger and hair that was 3-foot long and a set of Jenson tri-axle speakers. The first time I heard AC/DC was in that car. She was a whole lotta woman...whole lotta woman...whole lotta rosie

My first car was a 72 Cutlass Supreme....I can't believe my parents gave me that big ass engine to play with! I would buy another just like it if they'd make em again.......
I had a Craig 8 track in there and listened to a lot of Molly Hatchett...Of course Jensen speakers too.....

Gilligan: I'm sending you some radioactive seeds to plant on the island! They will make you super hungry....better get Mary Ann to make extra banana pies......
Mary Ann was my naughty mistress. We would often invite Ginger over for some fun.

GASP! NO WAY!
Mary Ann much too sweet to be a naughty mistress! That's like defiling the flag! Shame on you!
Ginger, on the other hand........

Hand me down from older sister was 1965 Plymouth Belvidere. Slant 6 with a -----see if anybody remembers these (push button transmission). Look just like the old radio (memory) buttons but it was on the ALL METAL DASH and you shifted like changing a radio station.
You could actually sit inside with the engine and work on it.
Wore bell bottom corduroys to my 8th grade dance (matching vest of course)--pimp my bell bottoms

My dad had a '64 Fiat that I tried to learn to drive with first gear wasn't a synchonized gear so you had to be at a complete stop before ever shifting into it. After one day I killed the trannie....ended up with a POS Vega but at least it was an auto(G) I remember when cable first hit the scene and thinking what a stupid idea and how it would never catch on....

Speaking of cars,my wife and I spotted a shiny green thing on the road last summer.Took about 5 seconds for my brain to realize someone had actually restored a Gremlin to baby poop green,Lol.I think they came stock with that color.My dream is to restore a pinto,right after the 64-1/4 mustang.
Peace

My husband loves to go fishing. Are house is on a hill with a steep driveway. Getting his boat into the garage is a project. We use to have this 69 Chevy pu more rust then paint. Because of the way our drive curves it is easier for him to push his boat up rather then pull it. We would load up the bed of the truck with seal buckets of water so the wheels won't spin and that usually worked but if the driveway were wet or if there were leaves on the ground he'd have me jump on the bumper and bounce up and down so he could get it up there! All the neighbors would hear us squeal up the hill. Boy did we miss our truck which we named Bestsy.

Was it white? Did you get my grandpa's car? He had a white one just like that and wouldn't let me have it....said the "brakes needed fixing??" So frustrating....Us kids got to drive it all around the back roads at age 8 and up.

Good morn from the island. Lola I will be watching the waves for a bottle with the seeds. We presently have 11 different radioactive plants growing and indeed there seems to be some relationship between the flowers and coconut pies.
It is a hoot to read all of your comments about our castaways, and the part they have played in all of the adolescent fantasies we had. The good news is that the show only covered 1/2 hour and for the other 23 1/2 you will never know for sure what we did or do.

Since cars was recent topic.
I remember when people would pull over and help you with car problems.
I remember when it was $8 at the highschool to take drivers ed with your shop teacher who fell a sleep while you were driving.
When you got pulled over the cops poured out your beer and sent you on your way.
When there was such a thing as bias tires and man the made great smokey burn outs.
When you changed into your snow tires come winter.
When a jack hooked to you bumper. ( Whats a bumper does not exist?)
When a 1970 Plymouth GTX 440 4 speed with a Dana rear end cost $3000.00 from the framer down the road (now try $40,000.00 in mint condition.)
When the car wouldnt start there was always a guy who new what was wrong. ( guys dont change their own oil now)
