never saw any of those either....... no doubt it has everything to do with being rusty and pretty much disposable

I'm so old, my birth certificate is in papyrus, and my birthdate is followed by the letters B.C.

cars looked funny when you guys were born......... they ran on gas, right?

For some of these guys, it might have been coal.

So now that we all agree most of us are older than dirt.
Anybody remember the rules of the road we were taught ?
One comes to mind is flashing your headlights to on coming traffic that there is highway patrol or a problem for them to slow down ?
No one does that any more. How about moving to the left to allow traffic/drivers to merge on to the road.
All I see is no courtesy among drivers at all these days.

I was thinking.... being born in 65, probably aware of cars by 71...... I never saw a Studebaker or an Edsel on the road as a kid, only later in life at shows; even then, I can count them on one hand......in my mind they were ancient vehicles the older folks talked about

I'm so old that on long drives when we were kids, my brother and I would play a game seeing how many Hudson's versus Studebaker's we could count!

LOL, a driver flashed at me the other day on a side road. Took me a couple seconds to realize what he was telling me. Cop was 1/4mile away. Worked out good.

We had a guy local that had over 250 Edsels, he daily drove Edsels well into the 90's, when he passed away the were collectors from all over the US here for the auction..

A friend’s father-in-law is 98 and still getting around using a cane. He bought a ’58 Edsel new and still has it and drives it. Though his driving time is real limited (he might be done now as the story is of late). He has taken it to local car shows. Not that many years ago (being around 90 then) he drove it cross country and had done it a few times before. Quite the guy to chat with about what things were like in his younger days!

Yeah, you choose the wrong dinosaur... Stegosaurus are better for riding...
