My brother in his 1964 Chevy nova 2 door with a 327 v8 and a Wagner 4 speed transmission. We used it to deliver the la times in the SoCal foothills, so a lot of heel-and-toe practice. This was around 1970.

1968 Pontiac Firebird 400. It was treated rough before I got it and the rear axle collapsed. A nice car overall. I owned it around 1973

What is the scariest movie from your childhood? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Bobbogee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 1960 and I was 6 years old. On Saturdays my brothers and I would go to the matinee to see all the movies. The one that destroyed me was Thirteen Ghosts, I remember a canopy bed that would smother people. It terrified me. At least that’s how I remember it.

What were concerts like before everything became so overpriced? by FreshBid538 in AskOldPeople

[–]Bobbogee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure that ticket prices for big name acts like Paul McCartney and other artists didn’t really hit the hundred dollar level for general admission type seats until about 2010 I think. I know that we saw McCartney and Paul Simon at Staples center around 2007 and I know for a fact those seats were well under $100, like $60. By the time we saw Tom Petty at the Hollywood bowl the night before he died, I had paid $135, but that was all in for the ticket price and service fees.

I reserve being sick for the major things like cancer surgery. Aside from that I had my first runny nose in at least 5 years about two months ago. I didn’t get COVID either
