You guys actually go to Drive-Ins to see movies? Damn, what a concept! In the 60's we went there to drink beer and...
Well, that's another thread.

He knows that - the same as certain *other* personas would choose to incorrectly spell words that everyone else in the world can spell (or look at the globe to spell) -- maybe if we all stay real quiet he will GO THE HELL AWAY! Doubt it though - its summer time and ALL the freaking nuts are here to play.
As for drive-ins - we don't have them here anymore, but I miss them - I will have to check and see if my parents still have one near them.

We still have one drive-in left in tucson. I haven't been in years but it's nice sometimes. Since you use your car radio now, the sound is better. It's kinda nice being in your car so no one can bug you by talking in the row behind you or having their phone ring. And you can set the temp however you want, so no more freezing in the theater.

I'm sure a lot of us ( or our brothers and sisters) were.

Haven't been to a drive-in in years, so the concept of listening to the sound on the car radio is foreign to me.
However, when I was in college there was a drive-in next door to the daytime radio station I worked for. Since we had to sign off at local sunset -- and the movie didn't start until 30-45 minutes later, we used to put the transmitter into what was known as "dummy load" (basically a test antenna that only transmitted a very short distance), and play music for the drive-in until the show started. There was a lot of "back seat music," as we called it to help conceive those little brothers and sisters.
Of course, there are some who would argue that whenever I was on the air we were on "dummy load."

Drive in's are all over the place even in big cities. People go to them because they like the atmosphere
I've been reading your posts and you don't seem to have anything constructive to say

Not in New Jersey anymore, and I never had a chance to check them out. If anyone's been to some in the northeast, which would you recommend. Hate to think I'd drive an extra 100 miles out of the way to try this out and have a bad experience...

That's especially sad, since NJ was the birthplace of the drive-in.

Svierge, it was nice and pleasant without you around. Please go back to wherever you were hiding. Florida, i'm taking a wild guess, because you're sure as hell not from Sweden.

Wow, i'm glad you have so much time on your hands, UFPike. And one would think all those drugs would've fried all your brain cells.

I second that. My best friend from home spent a year in Sweden, and I don't recall her ever telling me about encountering any obnoxious troublemakers over there...
