40 things that will make you feel old

[cherrytwist]

I don't need a thread for this. I just need to count each year since I was born. But 40 is the new 20, right? Right???

There is a massive amount of women that come back into the dating market around late 30's early 40's. These are the same women who got married in their early to late 20's. They usually have one or two kids at this stage of the game, and they're not into playing head games, they know what they want and they are not afraid to tell you straight up.

Yer all a bunch of kids...I "graduated" from the USMC in 1973...by the mid-80's, both my kids were in grade school. My youngest was born in 79. Hell, my oldest grandson turned 12 a couple of months ago...

I remember some of the things in that post...but not fondly. (well...maybe the teletubbies ) I was old enough that most of it was aimed at my kids...or at teenagers.

I remember when 8-tracks became popular. You HAD to have an 8-track player in your car...and a fucking suitcase to carry around enough cartridges to get through a night of cruising...then, OMFG! cassette tapes became the new rage..."Look how small this is...and it's a whole album!"

You've probably got a couple of years on me.....but I do remember watching JFK's funeral on TV and listening to the moon landing on the radio and watching the arrival of the Beatles in NYC and playing on the Ed Sullivan show.

Also remember fixing a balking carburetor on the side of the road and having to dry out your car's drum brakes after going through a puddle so they'd work if you needed them, and strong arm power steering, and cars with no padding at all on the dash---just naked, painted steel, and Chrysler's push button automatic trans, and vent wings---I do miss those.

damn. you graduated the year i was born! you are a old fart! :awe:

8-tracks in the car? did they skip a lot? or get "eaten"?

8 tracks never skipped unless you mean the deck literally jumped tracks when hit really hard like perhaps going 80mph over railroad tracks. They would drag though with a sound similar to a highly eccentric record. Think of playing a 45 without an adapter on the tiny spindle for an LP. A little too much wine or harder stuff and you never really got it centered the music did the pitch watsui. Lots of fun! :biggrin:

Sometimes the music would stop and you'd hear crunching noise from the cart! Pull it out faster than Johnny humping away without protection! That's feeding tape into the slot, silly! No fear if it's just a loop and not all bent up you can spool it back with a quick tug to get the side with the majority of the tape going and let rotational momentum do its thing. Back in those days people thought that was magic. How ironic when the little teenage girl fixes your Jimi Hendrix cart after Voodoo Child was abruptly interrupted!

The push - button Torqueflite....Awesome transmission, that's for sure. I do miss the vent window, too. Last car I had them on was a '67 Camaro. Chevy got rid of them on the '68....

Bought a 1970 Plymouth Super Bee back in 1976 for $400, and it was mint. Worth about $60-80k now. Wish I still had it
