    HAVE YOU EVER?
    Of course!! Hasn't everyone??

    Answered 15 of them yes, 11 no, and a bunch of "explanations" (read: LIES! )to go with some of them.

    #3: I always claimed it was unknown.

    #9. Had a big owie at the drive in movie one time: Got all hot and bothered and decided we wanted to go someplace more "private", GF forgot to roll down the window and put the speaker away, I drove off and broke the window before the cord let go, tore the post down, and yanked the speaker off of the car next to us. Doubly embarrassing because I worked at the drive in.

    Yep to most of them on that list. Besides the pulling out choke trick I would also take off a vacuum line to get a cammed up sound.

    As for the people in the trunk thing, guilty as charged. One time I was going through the gate paying for myself with 3 buddies in the trunk. Just as we got there one of them must have eaten too many burritos and polluted the air insded the trunk pretty badly. The other two started yelling and beating on him so I had to pop the trunk and pay for the 3 freeloaders.

    I also remember forgetting a church key (don't know if you guys called a beer opener that) one time when I took a date to the drive in. Had to open the beer bottles by putting the edge of the cap on the corner of my car bumper and pulling down on the bottle. As I did that on one bottle the beer started shooting out of the bottle so I put it to my mouth to stop the gusher, but didn't know the top of the bottle had broken off. Cut my lips so bad I didn't get a lot of smooching in that night!

    One last thing. How many of you stole gas by siphoning it from other peoples cars? I did, and one time stole it from my own schoolbus that the driver parked a few miles from my home. We used the rubber hose off of my Moms washing machine and the end got stuck inside the gas tank when we were done, so we just pushed the entire hose into the tank and put the cap on. A few weeks later we were waiting for the bus and it never showed up. Turned out the rubber hose had now disintegrated and plugged up the fuel system! The driver told me the next day "I know it was YOU who did that, and if I can ever prove it I'm going to kick your butt!

    Thanks for the memories.

    Don

    The younger folks would answer this list by saying:

    "what's a drive in?"
    "how could you have your arm around her, all cars have bucket seats"
    "I'm afraid of guns"
    "we cant have fireworks here"
    "my ricer wont squeal the tires"
    "my ricer only holds one friend in the trunk"
    "we dont go parking, my folks let us get nekkid at home"
    "what's a reverb?"

    Don, that trunk story was a hoot. I was wondering at the sense of us all as kids, though, because one of the big tip-offs to a trunk rider(s) was a guy coming to the box office/gate alone in his car, and I caught a bunch that way. I never sneaked anyone in at my own theater, though; there were two drive ins in our little town, and the other one always got the benefit of my attempts at nefarious activities. The trick that always got me, though, was trying to sneak someone in on "dollar-a-car" night.

    And, the gas thing: we actually sucked about ten gallons from a Highway Patrol car one time, right in the guys driveway; I guess it was just to see if we could get away with it; dumb.

    another memory jogger from Don - - - - one night my late buddy and I decided to drive out to the Gulf Oil Fields and fill my car (46 chevy 4dr buttugly sedan) with Casinghead Gas from one of the unlocked tanks. Everything went great - we thought - until after about an hour of cruising around - - - - it started running pretty bad and by the time I got home, I had burnt almost every valve in that hot water six and ended up doing a V.J. before I could drive it again. Lesson Learned the hard way but wasnt' that the way we learned most of our lessons back then?

    The pump jack motor runs on drip gas....why cant a car? That was the common thinking in those days. Of course the pump motor ran about 200 rpm (at least it sounded slow)

    Haha, one time a buddy and I siphoned gas out of some road equipment and we were thrilled to see how much we scored, filling up his tank. After a little while the car stopped running and we learned that some equipment doesn't use gas, they run on DIESEL!! Had to drain his entire tank and fuel system and the car never did run right after that.

    There were three (maybe more) reasons for doing this:

    12. Have you ever put an on/off switch in your brake light circuit?

    What were they?
