Things the next gereration doesn't need to know

OK

 

I know we're a bit off topic here, but if we taught kids in school to think for themselves instead of how to pass a test, we'd be WAY better off...

 

Someone had to save the french.

 

Beat me to it! Now how many people know the proper way to adjust a quadrajet carb? Hell, show a kid a carb today and they wouldn't know WTF it was.

I had a pop-stick in my car for adjusting a couple of my 8-tracks. Slip it in under the 8-track to stop the "bleed" sound from other tracks. lol.

 

I prefer these if going a long distance, I think most of my friends dont realize there are street signs that tell what hwy they are on or where a junction is. Most dont know the numbering system for the interstates.

 

You have to grind the cover plates off the newer ones.

I still listen to my dads zz top, eagles and Wayon 8 tracks, the radio in our shop is old. All my friends laugh at it.

 

1st Generations

 

Italy ,,the English .. really most of Europe

 

My Dad still uses those in his HVAC business. He taught me how...had pretty much Orange County and the greater LA County memorized from 30 years of doing it. He'll have me look up a street and will already know how to get there before I can start giving directions lol

 

Damn, that's depressing. I've got to get my kid to Glacier National Monument before it becomes National Monument that Once Had Glaciers

 

I liked pontiac and olds cars before the 90's

I like maps, gps always wants me to drive 50 miles outta the way to get on the interstate for a 100 mile trip.

 

I have a AAA map pack of southern California from the mid 70's, I liked using maps but enjoy the convenience of Google now.

 

Isn't that the Chevy v8 firing order...sorry someone may have said that already.

 

It is. I believe everyone in my high school knew that.

 

My kids will never do Drivers Education in school.

 

Having several old Chevys ...it immediately clicked something in my brain....I use to know it by heart but ...I use to have to remember phone numbers back then too...so I was much sharper...now I just hit the name...and never see numbers

 

So over played

 

That you were I'd say haha..I bought my first car the year you were born!

 

Rental stores in general..

 

When MTV actually played music videos all the time.

The PMRC getting started..ugh I hate those fuckers.

Prince never being known as a symbol.

Metallica with Cliff Burton.
