When i was about ten or eleven my father had a Nash station wagon. My best friend at the time David and i were riding on the lowered tail gate ( this was back in the 60s ). I don’t remember why but dad had to hit the brakes hard. My friend and i ended up plastered against the rear seat.

Accurate.

I was told about this incident many times by my parents because i was too young to remember it. We were driving down the highway to go to the local beach and somehow I opened the car door and swung out with it, hanging on to the door handle while they tried to get the car stopped before i could fall. With 2 older brothers I’ve never understood how i had access to the car door. This was in the very early 1970’s before seatbelts were installed in all vehicles.

We had a car where the passenger door would fly open going around curves. My mom would just reach over and grab my arm as she started making the turn . . .

As kids, it was usually fun to ride in the back of the truck!

Most crowded/dangerous car ride i ever was in had 15 teenagers in a mustang doing 100km/h on gravel roads. This was well after seatbelts were mandatory.

Dunno if feel sorry for how is now or for how it used to be.

I remember riding in the bed of a model T pickup in sub zero weather. So freaking cold. (Yea I’m old, BUT still here!)

Yep!

Good Times, good times!

We used to ride in the bed of my uncle’s pickup when I was younger. It was a blast

Yup.

Just think of the fun stories today’s kids are going to tell their kids!

Yeah, right.
