The drag. Did you all call them hoods-skanks or scuds? What was the motorcycle crowd called?
What was the last movie you saw at the drive in?
Another stupid move!

Damn, JAM,
I wish we could sit down over a few beers and talk about this stuff for a few hours -- or days!
Fountain cherry, vanilla and chocolate Cokes (cost a dime) A&W just down the street from the "big" drive in restaurant that everyone "cruised." (There is a Sonic near our home where a lot of "old" guys with classic cars cruise some weekends.) A quick cruise of that drive-in, a quick stop at A&W and then down to the bars at Ohio State with our fake ID's were fairly typical evenings. Always switching, of course, between some of the radio stations posted above.
The last drive-in movie I saw was probably either "The Graduate" or "Mash."
Part of my after school job was answering the phone at a radio station for the "Beatle Hour" (formerly known as Hotline Hitline until the Beatles completely dominated).
Worked there through the "Louie Louie" controversy and the JFK Assasination when many of the kids were really PO'd when all of the rock stations dropped all commercials and played old instrumental tunes during the mourning period.
