Ah, the drive-in. How well I remember my older sister hanging that enormous metal speaker box on her window, then starting to drive away with it still attached. I remember how the windshield would fog up, requring a restart of the car's engine to clear it, and how the fog would roll in waves across the drive-in, obscuring the screen from view, and how the heavens would open and let down a torrent of rain just as we were going to the concession stand. Not to be forgotten are the assholes in other cars who left their lights on, blew their horns, or acted like niggers. I remember watching 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea from the back seat of the family car, and just as the giant squid came on, the fog rolled in so thick that I could not see the squid. I may be one of the few people in the world who has watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea from start to finish without ever seeing the giant squid. How I miss the drive-in. Such memories.

There is only one drive close to me, and I always make sure to pay and buy a bunch of merch/food, because it really is an amazing business and I want to to stick around and thrive.
If you are in PA, I highly recommend you check it out. Best movie festivals I have ever been to.

We did it twice. The second time they had changed the pricing to be per car. So we felt a little foolish with our Nissan Stanza's truck stuffed with 17 year olds.

Where I lived, only whites had cars. I think there were maybe a dozen blacks , one sandnigger, and maybe 20 Asians at my 2000 student high school.

I had a van, where we would have a chick be my girlfriend riding shotgun (if I didn't have one), and the ticket guy would not bother to look in the back assuming I was there to fuck the girl. I'd sneak in 8-15 people easily.

I worked as a protectionist in the mid 80s, including at 3 drive-ins. Best I ever saw was 20 people in a Buick. Back seat and trunk were Stuffed!

So many times for my parents. Then we got too big and it became snacks and whatnot. Then you become a teenager and you're all trying to get weed and booze in. Then you hit 20s and you're like wow this isn't 1960, time to do modern things.
Haven't been in almost a decade but would love to have a family and take them there. It is more fun quality family time than at home.

No. I'm white. I'm not a thief.

I had a coworker who said that in his day teenagers would sneak booze into the drive-in. It became such a problem that the vehicles were searched for booze before being let in. Eventually they got good enough at hiding it, that it was never found.
The trick was to keep it in the windshield washer, and run a hose into the cab. I asked if it tasted funny, but he said that running vinegar through it a couple of times first would clean it out.

I've drank from kegs at the drive-in. Early 80's.

No, we were White kids, so we were smart enough to walk in through the exit where the "severe tire damage" spikes are, and meet our friends in the snack bar.

Most people on Poal are too young to have been alive when that was a thing. I remember all that very well. Poor millennials these days often don't even own a car....

What a way to data mine and figure out age demographics for the site.

Oh no! I've been found out! I should rethink posting about personal experiences and stick with regurgitating links and memes that no one has seen on any of the other sites that post links and memes.
My carefully crafted data mining has been compromised by a top-notch internet sleuth. I should just delete this account and start a new one that doesn't glow like niggersockee.
I like my comment so much, that I think I'll paste it as a reply to the other retard.
