For some reason today I got to thinking about all these crazy past times. I'm sure everybody has a small thing or even a major thing that they have been around for or seen. Some of us younger guys might have a little shorter of a list but we have a list at that!

I remember spinning a dial to make a phone call. I also remember when 99% of cars on the road had little emissions equipment from the factory. I remember when PA first had Emissions testing in the early 80's. I remember Meineke not having a problem with catalytic converter removal too. I remember leaded gas, no bar codes, no cable TV, no computers, no nutritional info on food, etc. The list goes on.

I remember Star wars and smokey and the Bandit being major films to watch. I remember the first muscle car I ever road in was my dad's 77 firebird with a 400 in it and crane fireball cam dome pistons and you could run pump gas cause it actualy had lead and octane to support it. Course then I was hooked on hotrods ever since. How about the first atari that was kick ass "Space invaders" "Pac man".
