My first truck was my dads 89 S-10 with 255,000 miles on it with NO RADIO! As far as cell phones, my first was those old ass Audiovox's that was bigger than a house phone and you had to pull out the antenna to talk. Not to mention, it was pay by the minute and if you talked longer than 5 minutes, the earpiece got hotter than Jessica Biels ass! But damn, we thought we were cool!

How about this one....I remember riding on the front seat of the truck, standing on the seat. And if dad would hit the brakes hard for some reason, he would put his ARM out in front of me to keep my head from penetrating the windshield.........the good ole days I too remember the arm across the chest to keep you from flying into the windshield in case of a sudden stop in the car. Unfortunately I learned it too well and my grown kids and huby remind me thata I don't need to do that to them.

I remember when we first got cable. I used to stay up till 2 in the morning watching MTV, and I would watch Nickelodeon during the daytime. Man, Nickelodeon had some cool shows back then like You Cant Do That On Television, Double Dare, Salute Your Shorts, Wild n Crazy Kids...I know there's more, just can't think of em.

My first car was a 1982 white nissan sentra, the passanger side dash was caved in. The passanger side door handle always broke, so whenever I picked up my girlfriend, she used to either get in the drivers side, or climb thru the window just like bo and luke duke. Me and my friend one time were throwing lit bottle rockets out the window going down MacAuther drive, the wind blew one back in the car and set the nappy carpet on fire. Im so suprised we didnt get pulled over. It looked like a scene from Cheech and Chong, smoke coming out all the windows and the car swerving between 2 lanes. The good thing then was that gas was less than a dollar and I could fill up for 15 bucks and go for 2 weeks. Now that was the good ol days.

Yeah I had made me a fake wwf belt too. I took a big white leather belt from my mom and put a round piece of cardboard on the front. At the time, the Shell station would give these collectible "gold" coins of different presidents. I had collected like 20 of them and taped them across the belt to give it some "bling". haha Sad thing was I was an only child so I stayed undefeated for years! Unless, I got my ass whipped by my pillow or my 4 foot tall Alf stuffed animal! haha DAMN THOSE WERE THE DAYS!
