I'm so old I Remember when:

[LTAY1946]

I remember when the limit was reduced to 55 to conserve gas. That law was ruled unconstitutional.

I remember making a pit stop one night in S MO and there was a trucker in the stop fit to be tied. He got a ticket for driving 56mph.

I was caught going twenty over once and only got a warning!

 

[LTAY1946]

I remember the night that gas went up $1 a gallon. From 49¢ to $1.49.

They don't now?

Not ours

Not ours

You need a battery backup for your phone and it will or should. Mine does.

I was caught going twenty over once and only got a warning!

Got caught doing 80 in North Dakota, by a state trooper! Thought I was going to jail, and probably a few hundred dollars fine. Nope, just a $10 fine, mail it in, and a "have a nice trip!" I think North Dakota didn't want to hurt any tourism.

I remember when I thought old people drove too slow.

I remember when I could hop down from the bed of a pickup truck, land on my two feet, and take off running. Try that today and I'd end up in a crumpled heap on the ground, checking limbs for what's broken.

Our high school had two floors. Sliding down the handrail would get you suspended, but many of us would just leap over the last four or five steps, land on the floor and keep going.

Did you ever leap from a moving swing? I did, but not too high.

Now I think everyone drives like idiots except for most old people.

 

[Evadig]

I remember when I vowed never to drive above fifty-five mph.
