I was born in '92, and growing up my dad had an Oldsmobile that looked like one of those shitty, small, boxy 2-door cars from GTA 3.
Anyways, I think they may have still had TEL gas in the cheaper pumps where I was living because anytime we'd go on a long trip (like when he had to pick me up for weekend visitation), I would get severe headaches & feel nauseous the whole time. Either that or it was just how many cigarettes he smoked in that goddamn car.
Every time I see that stupid "we didn't have seatbelts" I remember this dude I went to school with. Was in the bed of a truck. Horrible accident. His whole face is skin grafts. Whole. Face.
Old lady that lived across the streets when I grew up lost her son and daughter cus they were doing doughnuts in the school parking lot and the thing flipped. No seatbelts just dead af, including the other passengers
Jesus. What a senseless tragedy. I mean touch grass etc but save the car shit for GTA or actually take a racing class so you can learn how to react and what signs to look for.
For sure. It happened to him after 8th grade. He was in the bed in a sleeping bag with his best friend coming back from an overnight camping trip. Dad had a fatal heart attack. Truck hit a tree and engulfed in flames. Both boys survived. He was an athlete with promise, probably would have gone to college over it. It was like a punch to the gut of the whole class. He was a really nice kid. Just a fucked up situation all around.
I don't have anything against people who smoke, but for some reason I cannot get through an episode of Mad Men because the ungodly amount of ciggs they smoke.
Plus no one had air conditioning, cars rode like shit, and everything smelled like cigarettes.
Honestly one of the biggest qualitative improvements of my lifetime was banning cigarettes from damn near everywhere.

My grandmother had a strict "No smoking in the house" rule and I often forget how nice her house was compared to everyone else's.

Yeah, their generation invented a toy that was basically just heavy metal spikes you threw into the air
Killed more than a few kids before they realized that making them less heavy and sharp was probably a smart idea
Wait what what toy is this referring to?
Lawn darts
Just looked original lawn darts up :jesus-christ:
Then again I did take a dart to the foot once while playing beer darts so I probably don't have room to talk :shrug-outta-hecks:
Gonna go back to 1955 & start selling period-accurate Pompeian Gladii as "Lawn Paddles".
They look pretty fun ngl
Lawn darts are awesome and fake darts are revisionism

That's the face of a REAL MAN.
Does he wear seatbelts now? Americans are so weird about that

Mad Men worldbuilding is just "what if the doctor blows cigarette smoke into pregnant Betty's face?"

Most TV shows weren't filmed in color until the late 60s lol. And even then, color TVs didn't outsold b/w TVs until the early 70s.
