I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

My uncle had one. He was proud that it would float.

I nearly got killed in one because the driver was trying to pass a car and it had no acceleration and there was a car meeting us head on.

Ahhh, yes! Before we moved to the country, the whole neighborhood full of kids would be outside playing till dinnertime, at each others' yards or in the surrounding woods & fields. Each Mom had her own way of calling her kids home. One used an old ranch-style triangle, another blew a conch shell. We wished Mom would try the classic Tarzan yell (which Carol Burnett did wonderfully on her show that we loved so much!)

I wanted to have this probably more than anything. Never had any friends, just me and my little sister. But I was able to make up for it with my overactive imagination - all my stuffed animals were my friends and life became even better when we got two chickens!

I remember when speed limits were reduced to 55mph nationwide for several years. Until better car safety features became standard and states started enforcing seat belt laws, then they dropped that law.

I remember Miss Kitty....

Me too. And I remember when she left the show and came back. My dad loved her. I also remember Little House and the Waltons.

Double nickels had nothing to do safety. It was all about the gas shortage. I appreciated the improved gas mileage.

Someone already mentioned mood rings... those were sooooo cool!

I remember when speed limits were reduced to 55mph nationwide for several years. Until better car safety features became standard and states started enforcing seat belt laws, then they dropped that law.

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

Doible nickels had nothing to do safety. It was all about the gas shortage. I appreciated the improved gas mileage.

Oh yeah! The ""gas shortage"" and rationing. I remember lines at the gas stations.

They did spin it as safety though.

55 saves lives.
Arrive alive- drive 55.
