You had your car painted for $29.95. For that price, it probably included painting your tires, too.

I remember back in the mid 70's watching a Bosun (they had the key to the paint locker), at the end of the jetty, painting his car Ship Side Grey with a roller...

We bought bags of marbles at the local toy store.

When I was in Junior High School, the grandpa of a good friend painted his early '50's Pontiac with a paint brush. He used green latex paint. And, the paint brush streaks looked more like he used a broom.

I painted a friend's Datsun truck from light metallic blue to flat black while parked in his driveway overnight. I cut in around the windows and all the trim with a brush and rolled the rest. He didn't know anything about it until he came out in the morning. After he got over the shock he decided it was the greatest prank ever but he wished I had used gloss black.

Lived in apartments when I was a kid, so no lawn to mow. My first lawnmower was gas powered and given to me by my father-in-law when he decided to hire a gardener to mow his lawns.

Hmm no idea who you're referring to but for some reason "pud wacker" comes to mind.

When you stop trimming/shaving downstairs because no one is going to see it. Disclaimer: I am not old yet.

On the flip-side of this, when your wife/girlfriend doesn't shave downstairs for a week and it looks like the furry wall from Get Him to the Greek.

[TiMSport]

You know you're old when NOT shaving down there was normal.
