Yes. The last time was near the coast, and fog rolled in during the movie. Management made an announcement for everyone to drive forward as far as possible and to run the vehicles for a few minutes. It sounded strange, but it worked.

Yep and I will not go into the reasons why that was "the" place to go for dates in my time.

Yes. I've got lots of great memories as a result of drive-ins. And no, it's not all about making out. It's more about some great conversations and of course, drinking of cheap wine with the carload of girlfriends. I'd be horrified if I knew my own daughter did some of the stuff I did, but I'd also be glad knowing that she too survived. Whew!

Yup, at the old Thunderbird Drive-in in Ft. Lauderdale. We used to all pack in the car, with a bag full of goodies. I LOVED going there with my family. (as a child)

Oh my goodness yes! As a child, my parents would pile us into the back of their 1955 Ford Fairlane with pillows and blankets. As a teenager, it was the only way to see a double feature (and stay out late). The first time, I met my hubby, he drove my boyfriend and I on our date. First we stopped off at the A &W rootbeer stand, and then on to the drive-in to see "How to Steal a Million". Who knew how that was going to turn out! As young newly weds, we went to the drive-in often in San Diego. I remember seeing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Love Story. Then as young parents, we would pile the sleeping kids in the back. I remember seeing American Graffitti and Rocky. When we moved back home in the late 1970's, we discovered that our drive-in out in the boonies appropriately called the "Evergreen" now showed porno flicks! Of course we had to check it out to make sure the rumors were true. Can you imagine...xxx rated movies at a drive-in! Now they are all gone. We do have one in Council Bluffs, that just closed recently so that my daughters had a chance to have the drive-in experience as adults. They showed triple features! It was very economical if you could stay up that late.

Coco, yes the drive-in IS all about making out. Where else was a decent girl suppose to make out? And when just us girls went, we tried to look into the other cars and see if they were making out. lol There wasn't any place to go "parking" except for the cemetary and that was just toooooooooo spooky. MySweetLori, You know I'm as innocent as a new born baby. hahahahaha

Oh yes!!! And the memories. Makes me feel young again. We still have a drive-in in San Jose, but now I am too old. It would be too cold, too uncomfortable. But in my youth----oh how I loved the drive-in!!!

Yes, even being a young 24, I have. A town near by used to have a drive-in. They took it down though, I think to build a new school. There's one up near Wichita, I think, as well. I'd love to be able to go again.

Yes, and the very first one I went to was on May 5, 1968. I went with the "LOVE" of my life, (at the ripe old age of 14) and when he tried to feel my boobs, I stopped him. He broke up with me on May 8, because he wanted to find someone he could plan a future with, and I was too young. Yea, right!! I was never so heart broken in my whole life!! To this day, I've never forgotten him.

Granny, Granny, Granny...lol, so okay, it is ALL about making out. However, some of my all-time best memories are with my girlfriends (who are still in my live) and our bottles of cheap apple wine...OMG! And yes, I agree...you are as innocent as Lori and also the newborn baby!
