    Don’t forget in the backseat of that car you could put a half a dozen kids or more. At least four actually in the seat and if needed you could put two on the floor boards and one in the back window. That didn’t count the three that could sit on laps if needed. The guy in the back window had to be careful to not get sunburned but that was pretty much the only concern we had with that. Even little cars could be fun. I remember putting all eight of the cub scouts in my den in the neighbors VW bug for transport back and forth to den meetings. On the ride home you just had to put the kids in the car in the order that they would get out so the first out would be the last in.

My aunt and uncle had 5 kids. We would all pile into their station wagon, and have a ball. I also remember riding in the back of my grandad's pickup. Not a care in the world,😅

    Cherry RED…I stuck my thumb in the lighter when I was reaching for it as it rolled under the seat when my grandpa and me were driving to Colorado that lasted about 1.1 second and I pulled my thumb out and it already had a blister on the top of it. Nice give each of the kids a lighter nice. The 70s and 80s. Mostly fond memories.

    I never heard of "Rodeo," but there was one thing boys did called Slug Bug. The first one to see a VW beetle yelled Slug Bud and the color then punched hi brother's shoulder as hard as he could. The punchee just had to take it. Of course if he saw the next one he could smack his brother. We never did that or even heard of it, but other people have told me about it.

    Oh Yes. I definitely remember the lighters in the cars. When I was very young I wanted to see if the lighter gets real hot. Well, I found out the hard way by putting my finger into the center of that lighter and I found out very quickly. And I definitely have a mark from the Smallpox shot. I remember the day I received it. OUCH!!!

    I'm embarrassed to admit at age 4, yes I remember, I got in the car fooling around. I was not ever to get in the car alone. I knew it was wrong.
    My parents smoked so I had seen the lighter used. I decided to heat it up. After removing the lighter I thought wonder how hot is it. So I stuck it to my cheek. I removed it so quickly that I only had a half circle left for years. I threw the lighter in the floorboard and ran into the house. I was crying and stuttering through the tears as I told my mom what I had done. Flyswatter time. 😊
