I remember the cassette tapes (I was born in 1990), and I know what ignition points are from working on a lot of older engines.

But what the heck are those?
Hahaha, thanks for making me feel like a dinosaur! Those are 8 track tapes. My first car had a 8 track player.

I yanked it out and tossed in a Jenson with cassette player. I was the man then!

Faulk I'm old. 8 Track tape. I had an 8 track in one of my early cars.....they were actually pretty good but because of the format the tape would stop mid song and rewind to then complete the song.

Get off my lawn! 8 track tapes! Damn I feel old. I guess you don't remember when you actually had to go to the bank and deal with tellers before money came out of machines...

I have a bank book somewhere that the teller would actually hand write the amounts and balances in it.

My wife and I still have quite the collection of cassettes and were playing some of them this weekend. Yes, we do have 2 CD/Cassette boom boxes.

Do you remember how busy the banks were the beginning of the month when the old people would come in to get their interest posted in their bank books?

I do, and I remember my father getting paid on Fridays (in cash) and walking to the grocery store and buying food for the week. The four of us would carry the food home and it was about $15.

I remember going to the Saturday movies, 50 cents to get it, and a candy bar was 25 cents.

I think we need an old people's thread....

$0.35 for a slice of pizza. $0.35 to get on the train or bus. And I remember the first time gas went above $1.00/gallon. The old pumps didn't go up that high and they were charging you by the half gallon.

EDIT- Started an old people thread. Hijack over, back to LOL pics.

When I was in high school, I was a Pizza delivery guy. Best job ever for a high school kid - got to drive around, listen to the radio, and smoke cigs (still smoked back then) and get paid. Was awesome.

At end of week - I would stop at the local Circle K Citgo and fill up my 79 Subaru GL Hatchback and get a pack of smokes - total was about $10. Gas was 87 cents a gallon.

Side note - had a thing going with a girl I was dating at the time - she lived a few blocks away and would order the minimum delivery of $5 and give an address that was at the far reach of our delivery area - which would in theory take about 45mins round trip. Took me about 2mins to get to her house. Would um...hang out for 40mins or so then head back to work.

And I bet it was a REAL toaster, that hummed and glowed red when it toasted. Not like these wimpy heat lamps they call toasters today.

I used to take two six packs of empty Coca Cola bottles to the market, get the money for them and walk next door to get a haircut with the money. My memory is that was $0.25 but it might have been $0.50. I’m still resistant to haircuts costing much more than that, and it shows!
