Coke bottles had the name of the town where they came from molded into the bottom. It was always fun to wonder how they wound up where they did.

Too close to pay day my buddy and I scrounged around to find enough soda bottles for enough money to get into the Cinnimon Cinder to hear the likes of the Kingsmen and the Righteous Brothers.

 

Rock and Roll......Sheeesh..... Carmen Miranda and some samba....

 

The Avengers had nothing to do with Marvel Comic's band of superheroes...

 

The Rat Patrol

 

Hmm like that special open end box wrench I heated and bent so I could loosen the distributor bolt on old GM's?

 

I still have my first hammer and set of chisels when I started as a carpenter apprentice. Back then if a power tool was cordless it meant it was broke...

 

Crome reversed wheels with baby moons.

 

Fireball Roberts

 

Ahhh punch tape, how I fondly I remember your faint yellow color...

Back when I was a freshman at a prestigious Ivy League prep school those of us in the nerd group were allowed access to the computer terminals on weekends to have a bit of fun while learning this newfangled contraption. Winter Saturday afternoons when not off skiing were spend in front a giant dot matrix printer that had a keyboard on it. We played Flight Simulator for hours on end. Each move was plotted on punch tape, fed into the reader that zipped our moves by the magic of telecommunications to a mainframe located at Penn State University. Minutes later, well often more than minutes, since we had time to go out side and smoke more inspiration to try interesting things with our flight plans, the dot matrix printer would come alive pounding out 2-3 lines of text telling us what our aircraft had just accomplished.

And that kids is where I started getting my geek on.

 

Tri-bar spinner hub caps

 

The guys are not wearing UGG boots.

 

And Solid Rubber bicycle Tires like my first bike had.

 

Does Nathan know you are throwing around vulgar four letter words on his nice G rated website? The very idea...I had to go sit with my feet up and suck on a nitrostat and I'm still feeling palpatations.

 

'y gawd, its a conspiricy...I'm off to the drug store for a backup supply.

 

I think that was the banana crate, then there was the apple crate also.



Check that, Banana Bomber

 

I gar-un-teee that every baseball card I used would be worth $10,000.00+ today. I have no idea which ones fell to deliver the sound of a Cosworth crossing the finish line but there had to have been a Honus Wagner in the bunch.
