Where I went, mainly muscle cars and pickup trucks.

Older muscle cars were inexpensive. They really weren't special at the time.

If you had a shaggin wagon, you were doing well for yourself.

I dove an 81 GMC Sierra in HS. It wasn't anything special at the time. A lot of guys had nicer vehicles. I'd love to have it now. It looked about like this with bigger tires.

ETA - I started driving in 1993 so it was a 12 yr old truck at the time. Thing was a tank and possibly the best vehicle I've ever owned.

Holy boomer circle jerk, Batman! I’ll give you the good classic rock and the hot hippie chicks but that’s about it. Everything else about the boomers kind of sucks.

I had a 67 Pontiac Catalina, with the 400.

Some of the rich kids had camaros and Trans Ams. Not many at our school though.

Buddy of mine had an MG Migdet, we would pick it up and turn it sideways to where he was stuck in the parking lot.

Muscle cars in our parking lot but not many.

We didn't have many cars.

Most rode the bus BUT that was 17 and down.

It wasn't until we were out of high school before we bought our cars in my area.

All the cars in the parking lots later was due to one of our failures - buying OUR kids cars.

Every generation benefits but are spoiled by the riches of their parents.

we used to do that to my buddy's Datsun truck. If he parked next to the ditch, his tires were going in it after football practice.

The gene pool has completely dried up over the past few decades.

My paw paw was 60 years older than me but provided my first several. I plowed fields and bush hogged all summer and after school for it. My upbringing sounds a lot like a bro country song actually

I dont know about the 60/70s but this is pretty accurate for the boomers I grew up around and worked with.

Gen z for the most part dont give a frick what you do or think of us.

we also dont act like a 12 year old with some my grandfather is better than yours bullshite

Most kids at my school were working/middle class. Most worked for the things they purchased. Wasnt much wealth around at the time.

70s were one massive stretch of recessions. But people partied..

By the time I could get my driver's license I had miles & miles in a tractor seat.

I had miles on trucks picking up hay and then hauling to fields in winter.

Something that was taught to us by our greatest generation parents.

We had to make changes to our way of thinking.

Most of us made those changes BUT I'll admit it is something that we have to be conscious of at all times.
