Waiting in line for sporting event or concert tickets.....  My friends and I used to wait over 24 hrs for playoff tickets!  We would bring sleeping bags a football and a radio to kill the time.

Tom Whizzers were one of my favorite toys.  I remember trying to see how fast I could get that bottom to spin and the centrifigal or centripital force when you would hold it and move your wrist around and of course the sound it made. 

Sizzlers, hot wheel electric cars?  You would plug into a gas pump looking charger for ever and then race your cars, or for that matter Hot Wheels anyone?

How about seeing a movie and six years later it would premiere on a television station.  Now if a movie flops, or is good, you can get it a few weeks after it's out of the shows.

How about trying to explain to the kids that after the 11 pm news, the national anthem would play and then there would be colour bar codes until 6am when there would be aerobic work out shows  tounge

Or the weather man standing behind a clear glass panel, and would write backwards the temps for the day, week etc..... green screens?  what screens?

Trying to tune in to your favorite station on the car radio just right then pull out the button then push it back in to set it.

Yep, Sizzlers Hot Wheels electric. Didn't work very well. Anybody have all of the original sweet 16 redline Hot Wheels? I'm short 3.

Miss the day's of fetching concert tickets. Often the fun had getting tic's was better than the show.

Everytime I look at this post I can't help but smile.
My two brothers and I rode around in the back of my moms 1970 Datsun pickup every where we went for our entire childhood.
Sizzlers!!! Spent many hours watching the family cat sit in the middle of the track and swat at the cars as they went by.
OK. Back on topic. Explaining to my kids why my old cars have no seat belts but have an ashtray on all 4 doors.
I love this post.
