I agree with others, I always played on foot, never knew people would do it with cars too...
What do you expect nowadays? Kids have cell phones and cars and expensive shoes. Why would they actually run somewhere when they can jump in a car. Kids today don't know what it is like to freely roam neighborhoods and be real kids. Now they have play dates and hang out at the mall. Man it' sad. I want my kids to be able to play outside and know that it's time to come home when the street lights come on. I want them to have the fun that I had as a kid playing baseball in the street, trekking through the creeks, going to the park without my parents. Riding my bike without 20lbs of protective gear on.
I did this kind of crap as a kid all the time. Though we used a different term for it. We also would hide under the creek bridge and throw handfuls of moss up in the air onto the road when cars came by. We stopped doing that after we hit a police car. :\
you can't do that these days because of all the fvcked up people out there. someone's either going to kidnap them, kill them, rape/molest them, call the child welfare on you or a combination of those things.
