I can totally relate. I spent many of my teen years and 20's at the drive in. We would even go in the winter when it was freezing, but we didn't care. We would eat, drink warm hot chocolate and make out. Fun times!!

Kids today will never know how good Saturday morning cartoons used to be. I'm talking Johnny Quest, Flintstones, Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show, Superman/Batman Hour, Archie Comedy Hour, Space Ghost, Fat Albert, etc., etc.

The dial is what I'm talking about. Kids won't have any patience waiting for the dial to go all the way back each time they have to dial a "9" or "0".
