Cruising dead or are we old?

* Using hand signals for cars without turn signals

I still use hand signals when driving the '47 Stylemaster and/or when road driving the tractor. Althought, I asumme that most people do not understand hand signals anymore, most people wave when you signal a right hand turn.

I would like to thank SMOKNZ, reading this made me realize how much things have changed, for the worse, in the last twenty years of so.

Wasn't that Packard? Spent a lot of my early years in the back of a Packard. Wish I had any of my Dad's old Packards. I remember three of them, then a 59 Desoto Then a Rambler (never did figure that one out) then the 64 Coupe deVille. See a pattern here? His last car is a 78 Lincoln Town Car. Last of the lead sleds. He still has it and still drives it.

Yeah, I Googled it and it was Packard.......I guess after all these years the important stuff gets mixed up. LOL

How about those old stamps they used give with purchases that were redeamible at some special store......T V Stamps or Top Value stamps I believe. We used to give them out at the Sohio station I worked at. I think they were 10 for a dollar, unless you were good lookin. Man, they'd all stick together in the rain..they were a real hassle.

I remember 18 of the things on that list, and I can tell you that being older than dirt ain't so bad. My oldest son (21) can buy me beer. My youngest son is 10, works on my '49 with me, loves the Rolling Stones, and still thinks I'm the coolest. My wife is 33, beautiful, HATES rap music, loves fat fender cars, and evidently is turned on by a guy older than dirt! ...I don't see a down side!

I've been waved at too. I hand signaled a left turn, while waiting for a break in oncoming traffic, and as I made the turn, the guy behind me drove up real close to my rear bumper, blew his horn, yelled "Thank you!" (well that's what it sounded like to me), and waved at me...while indicating that I was #1! People are so darn friendly here in Newport!

S&H Green stamps here. Mom always dragged me along when she went to cash them in. It's a mexican tire store now.

mama and I went out for some Coney dogs and root beer after the cruise in tonight.....
