We had a 1970 Torino wagon. Grabber yellow paint, green plaid interior. Got more than 3 kids to haul around, just fold up the back seat and pile 'em in. Secondhand smoke was the rule instead of the exception. Wintertime Dad threw some sandbags in the back and had a set of studded snow tires on the rear. That thing went everywhere. Too bad it rusted out in about 4 years.
couldn't agree more. Everyone gets offended from the dumbest shit, can't even say anything anymore. Just be a nice little robot "yes master we agree with all your virtue signalling" even many people that call themselves "patriots" too
I was born in '62. We had a small B&W TV and us kids were the remotes. Instead of pushing buttons, our parents would simply tell us what channel to change to.
We used to stand on the front bench seat while my dad drove, if he had to stop suddenly his arm would stretch out and hold us pinned to the seat , tough old marine seargent
I remember standing up in the front seat of my parent's 1965 Rambler station wagon drinking a bottle of Coca-Cola. No seat belts, no child safety seat, no airbags, metal dashboard - all the fixin's. Whenever my mom had to brake suddenly, she would throw her right arm across the front seat to protect us from flying into the dashboard. Ah yeah! Good times!
I’m sad that my kids won’t experience an America that had a sense of humor.
They can, Fren. Exert a bit of parental influence. Force them to watch an explosion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRoO6-4oJMg

Born 67. Still got beer from my parents (sweetened with sugar). I have a master degree in mathematics and computer science. QED.
I remember as a kid, our whole troop of campfire girls sitting cross-legged in the back of station wagon playing games on our way to a field trip.
As a teen, riding in the back of a pick up truck - on the freeway.
Good times.
I remember riding my ten speed down the big hill in my town over the RR tracks going faster then the speed limit...with no helmet.
I also remember playing outside as a kid with other kids...without parental supervision.
I remember walking to the river and swimming with all my friends and jumping off the 20 foot high walking bridge without an adult in sight.
Imagine the horror. Can you just imagine it?
Born in 76. Had no TV in the house until was 14. Best thing ever...

I know what you are talking about, I was born in the last year of the boomers, 1964.
I'm not Gen-X but when I was that age, I got sips of martinis. I think they were trying to get us to go to bed early. It probably worked. Ha!
Agreed!
Ford galaxy wagon. Frickin awesome

I remember my old man (WWII vet US Army) letting me take sips from his Budweiser can.

lol not at all. Gen X is the bubble wrap participation trophy generation after all. They gave birth to millennials.
Generation X was so awesome man. They’re the generation that is currently hard-turning this once-impenetrable nation into hardcore leftist communism.
Generation X fucking sucks. They put the final nail in Christian values, the last thing keeping this country together.
Gen X is far better than the Boomers or the Millennials. I will admit, it's looking like Gen Z will be the best we've had since WWII.
