Remembering way back when

Ever get carried away at the drive-in, in a Corvair?  That was a nice car, baby blue with white interior.  LOTS of memories in that car.  Then there was the 59 Chev Impala rag top.  Had a 6 cylinder auto when I got it.  Had a 427 4 speed when I got rid of it.  I should have never gotten rid of that one!!  Was ALL kinds of room in the front seat with buckets, no console.  I made a box that went in between with padding and carpet on it.  (Hidden things inside)

Had a 8 track player in the car, buckets seats, console. Girlfriend found a 8 track storage box. Fit right in the passenger seat level with the console. Got a nice cushy blanket and everything. Worked really well. I loved that girl and she loved back till..........Somehow, beats the chit out of me how, got left in there and it wasn't hers??

I really liked her and her brothers were really big guys.

The discussion switched to cars and the one of the waitresses (Dana, and she was CUTE!!) mentioned she had never rode in a convertible. Guess who happened to be driving their dad's '66 Impala convertible because his car was out of commission? Me!! So I offered her a convertible ride in Iowa in the middle of March. 

I, my best friend Jack in the passenger's seat, and Dana sitting on the console went for a drive with the top down. I guess the cop working at 2:30 in the morning thought I had taken a corner a little wide (plus a car with the top down when the outside temp was about 40 might have been suspicious) and pulled me over. Made me get out of the car and started doing the DWI tests. He asked "did you know you took the corner a little wide?" I said "yes, you see Dana is sitting right next to me and if I turned any sharper my elbow would hit her boob and that wouldn't be very gentleman like". He finished his tests and said "you barely passed, put the top up, one of them get in the back seat and get home" Then he said "I have heard a lot of excuses in my time but yours was, by far, the best".

Of course I made Jack get in the back seat as we drove back to the restaurant. Ended up being good friends with Dana and was in her wedding a few years later.

Guys, I read this post and thoroughly enjoyed dreaming of the "good old days"    Yes I said the good OLD days.

I think those memories kinda got better with age.

I used to really like that sound and then you wired up a Vibrato unit,,,,Man,,, you be chittin in tall cotton as far as amazing sound effects,,,!!!!

Still have a stereo that has that on it, but on it it is called 'Reverb'.  WHAT sound!!

I've got a handful of 8-track players that have it yet too.  I JUST bought an 8-track player that also has 'record' on it.  I never knew that they made them!!  Anybody got any empty 8-track tapes??

The OLD record players are making a BIG come back!!  The kids now like the sound so much better than anything they can buy now.  I'm sitting on a few $$$$, as I have quite a few of them!!  I don't really want to sell them though.
