Boys Back in 1975 Vs Boys Today in 2021

Dang man, we have A LOT in common. Lol!

Guess we all got something in common. Met my wife to be driving that same old F100. 42 years later the truck is long gone but I still have the same girl! Sometimes I ain't sure how she put up with me this long!

Learnt how to drive on an old 2 cylinder John Deere tractor. Then in hay fields driving an 0range f100 longbed. That truck had oxygen bottles for mufflers.

Yep, today kids don't even know what a manual shift is.....I learned on a @68 C10 3 on a tree. My first 3 cars where manual shift, steering, and brakes....2 didn't have AC. I think everyone should learn on a manual, then you can drive anything. Heck I was driving a tractor @10yrs old, a 9N I think it was

That was the first brand new truck my father bought, I-6, 3 on the tree, A/m radio, no options at all. My brother and I went with him to pick it up - buying a new vehicle was not a common event in our household.

I remember it was raining hard, and my father complaining on the way home that he couldn't believe that he had to pay more than $2K for a new truck.

Then came to find out the dealership put enough gas in the tank to drive if off the lot - this was back in the day when there wasn't a convenience store on every corner.

Do you remember riding in the Country Squire "woody" with the seat folded down a slick thing blanket covering the metal hinge road tripping on curvy roads in the rain while pops was smoking lucky strikes? you would get out high and bruised like a banana that went through the warsher..
