Who's old enough to remember these?

[SHRED]

I am.

[TexasTowelie]

1. I remember

and I'm only 52.

[dawg day]

2. i remember those never worked well...

And you had to hang them on the car window, and the bugs could get into the car then.

And I was short and could never see over the dashboard to the screen when I was a kid.

Netflix rocks.

[MFM008]

3. Broke the window

Of car.....

[Angry Dragon]

4. yep

[California_Republic]

5. My dad drove off with One in the window

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. .....

I wonder how many dads did that over the years! LOL!

[TEB]

20. Our father did as well

[askyagerz]

6. We had those up to the early 90s

After that you had to tune to a certain station and everyone would end up with a dead battery. My hometown drive in is still going today. Still a great cheap night out

7. The Geronimo Drive-In, Sierra Vista, Arizona.

We'd go for a night of movies, then hit the Dairy Queen on the way home.

8. I once saw a box of them in a junk store.

I later regretted not buying them.

They wouldn't have been a great sounding speaker for our "home theater," but they would have looked cool.

9. Yes. Friday nights long ago my dad would yell out "Kids, get yer pjs on. Time to go."

We loved going to the drive-in, playing on the swings and getting snacks from the snack bar. The family dog always came along.

18. "Kids, get yer pjs on. Time to go."...

[TalenaGor]

10. yep...

[KT2000]

11. Also zones instead of zipcodes!

That was actually a great idea that should be resurrected - no cell phones, talking etc.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. My grandfather owned a drive-in on Long Island. Good times.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. Well, of course!

We used to go to the Kallet Drive-In in Marcy, New York, just outside of Utica. It was wonderful.

[NBachers]

14. And those coiled things you'd light to give off poison smoke to keep the skeeters away.

In the wintertime, they even had heaters for your car at the drive in.

16. And you went to the drive-in wearing your pajamas and slippers

And were allowed to go up to the swingset/playground at the base of the screen before the film and during intermission.


Ahhhh.....the good old days!

[BHDem53]

17. I remember.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. Most of my teenage dating was at the drive-in.

Along with parking on back-country gravel roads afterward, LOL.

Also remember standing in line outside at the snack counter, and having to move to another spot because a speaker was bad. I think admission was under a dollar. At that time, I was mowing large yards with a push mower for 50 or 75 cents.

In college (mid-60s), I had just got married and was poor as dirt. The drive-in theater in that town gave free admission for something like 10 Coke or Pepsi bottle caps. I rigged a magnet on a string and we went around to outdoor drink machines and got caps until we got enough to get in free. Those really were the good old days!

[MrScorpio]

21. Yep...

I remember.

[Shanti Mama]

22. Laughing to myself

I so vividly remember the humiliation of being released out of the trunk to the shining lights of the owner. My friends and I were trying to save money so two of us climbed in back. LOL.........

[Glorfindel]

23. I remember it well.

There's a drive-in still in operation in the next town north from where I live. I haven't been there in many, many years, but I'm glad it's still going.

[kairos12]

24. I remember these well. When I was a teenager I saw the movie

Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry and was so excited about the car chase scenes I pulled away with speaker still attached. New window needed.
