Pretty cool, but why would anyone film that? I love that they did, I love these little snapshots of everyday life, rather than being told about it (which leaves out the mundane, but interesting details).

Did you listen to that car crank? A warm day, and it still has to turn over a few times to start. Today with the engine controls and fuel injection, if the battery can turn over the engine at all, it just starts right up, you barely hear it 'crank'.

Little details like that are fascinating to me.

I remember shopping at Lovemans, Pizitz, Montgomery Ward, Woolworths, and the 5 and 10 cent store.

I'm a '77 model and remember AM radio, Star Wars, VW Beetles and stuffing my face in birthday cake. That's about it.

Loved Eastwood Mall around 1979. Had an old 69 Camaro. Flirt with the girls on a Saturday night and just cruise around it. Scratch up some races and jump on I59. Those were the good old days.

I forgot how ugly shoes were back in the 70’s.

Back when 2 door cars, folding front seats and no seat belts were a thing.

Right when they opened the car door I could smell that vinyl interior like I was there. It was always hot AF in the back seat.
