growing up in the 60s there were two things you never saw in your car

seat belts

air conditioner

somehow we managed to survive without them

and the consoles werent made of soft cushy plastic
nope they were made of metal which if you were in an accident were very unforgiving

under the hood you actually had distributors not this computer chip stuff

again somehow we managed to get along without them

Yeah, the death rate back then was double what it was now, and 4x higher if you go by miles driven.

Life was much simpler

There only about 10 things that could break in your car engine and you  didnt need a $100 an hour mechanic with a diagnostic machine to tell you what was wrong


Boo!  Technology sucks!  :banghead:

sometimes it does

gone are the day when a normal individual could work on his car under the shade of a tree

now days you need special diagnostic equipment and an advanced degree in auto mechanics

sometimes the faster we go the behinder we get

A version of this was me with speeding until nearly age 22. Like I just figured I was invincible because I'd never been caught speeding. 

Then I caught two tickets in six months, one 23 over, and I realized I liked money more than going fast.

when we are young all that is important is getting to our destination as fast as we can and the older we get we start enjoying the ride and not the speed 

at least thats my story

I’ve lost count but I think I’ve been pulled over around 20-22 times in my life for various reasons and those pullovers have resulted in around 10-11 tickets.

The thing is, I don’t consider myself a lead foot or unsafe driver or anything. My problem is I am seemingly incapable of going  25 or 35 mph.   Almost all of my tickets have come in a 25 or 35.  I rarely go over 75 but I rarely go under 45 and that’s where I get in trouble.
