1. My dear NYC_SKP!
Ah.....1967. It was a very good year for me too...

Our daughter had her first birthday that year...

The GTO was the muscle car my husband borrowed from a classmate for our first date back in 1964! It did impress me...

So much so that when his REAL car showed up on the second date, it nearly killed our budding relationship!

And James Bond was always a favorite!

:rofl:

8. LOL-- the old "car switcheroo". Of course he wanted to impress you.
And it worked!

9. Well.........it sort of worked!
That second date!

If you had seen my face, as I frantically looked around for the GTO! Priceless!

Luckily for him, I was more impressed with him than the car!

2. I was born in '67.
Seems like it would have been a great time to be a teenager.

My friend had a new car:


I did not get to go to Woodstock :-(.


Jimi and Janis were still alive:



My favorite ball player (Roberto Clemente) led the Pirates to a winning season with a .345 b/a:


The moon landing was the day before my 17th birthday:


Clothes were very colorful:

11. When I was a kid I thought the teens in the 70's had it made
All the girls were beautiful, guys could get away with being vain.... it sounded like paradise!!!

Lucky me, I got to come of age in the 80's when you were too afraid to have a good time with imminent Nuclear War (thanks, Reagan...), AIDS and Cocaine OD's.

12. Being a teenager in SoCal in the mid to late 70's...
...was indeed a very cool thing. From car culture to beach culture to garage band stoner culture, it's almost everything people say it was. Almost...

26. Ah, yes. Methaqualone...
I really liked those.

But I'm happy to be substance free now.

I did more than a lifetime's share of 'stuff' and alcohol.

:P

15. The late '60's would have been a lot better for me had I not been in the Army,
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 10:14 PM by old mark
but I bet it was a great time.
I got out in '71, and things were still interesting.

Actually, I'm still having fun now, but I enjoyed TV more back then-Rockford Files, Smothers Brothers, etc.

Real variety of great music, too.

22. How old are you really?
I am 31, so I can't remember those times. The 80's were weird, and the 90's were kinda bland I guess. Certainly nothing like the 60-70's I would guess.

I think I'd woven a rainbow belt for myself and grew a fro.

Bell bottoms and boots with buckles were in, too.

Yeah, those were the days! but I'd take 1987 when I moved to Boston as a young woman and learned how to be a big girl :P We were all young, beautiful and independent. *sigh*

24. I was 12.
Still old enough for people to say, "Hey kid, git outta here."

Damn, that voltmeter looks cooler than an iTouch.
