The Jokeman Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) My favorite Chirstmas gift was from my grandmother growing up. In terms of birthday, think it was this from my parents. Edited June 28, 2018 by The Jokeman
Gugny Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Not even kidding. I was 7. Loved the movie and loved Olivia Newton-John. We used to open one present on Christmas Eve. I chose to open what was obviously an album. I forgot which one it was, but I remember that it was NOT Grease; I also remember crying. My mom quickly found the Grease album and let me open it. I love my mom. 1

I never had one nor do I remember any kid on my street having one, but I remember the commercials. Had a weird propulsion system based on cranking the 2 hand levers back and forth. All the kids that had Green Machines had great 'pipes'. Nowadays, the strongest muscles are the kids' thumbs.
plenzmd1 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Pioneer Super Tuner..we had to move to Grand Island from the Love Canal in the summer of my junior year in high school..i wanted to finish my last year at LaSalle, so had to buy a car on my own(see first car thread)..Mom and Pops got me this and a pair of Sparkomatics Tri Axle speakers as they felt sorry for me. Had that thing for like 10 years! And man, i still think those Sparkomatics( KMart bran for those that do not know) were every bit as good as the Jensens...and for like 1/3 price!
/dev/null Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 This was a few decades ahead of me but I would really have enjoyed one of these
RaoulDuke79 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Ironically I got it for my birthday and not Christmas

Lemme guess....a bathtub with a drain stopper. Close, Suzy Homemaker. A Fish bowl with a siphon tube. Still more manly, and it could double as an Oklahoma credit card.

Few are aware that this is how T-ball started. Millions of parents bored to tears over these past 50 years would like a word with the game's creator. The parents will bring their own bats...

B-Man Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 It took about 15 minutes to set up each play........................but we didn't care. and don't get me started on this.......

What was great is that it mounted into a “slide rack” ( someone help me out, what were those things called?) so you could easily take out/in to keep in trunk. Slide mount maybe?

I had a Kenwood pullout in the 90s. Later became detachable faces. My daughter is 15 and I've been letting her drive some. I have a Maxima and the other day she commented on what an awesome sound system it has (it is froggen incredible) I explained that we used to have to install aftermarket systems, and how mine got stolen twice. Completely foreign concept now. Edited July 1, 2018 by BUFFALOKIE
