We would also pack blankets and pillows. We usually went in the summer. This would mean that the movies started late because of daylight savings. There was always a double feature. My sister and I would normally fall asleep before the end of the second movie.
While I was at work earlier this week I saw something that reminded me of the last double feature I saw with my parents before they got divorced; The Bad News Bears and The Gumball Rally. What I saw was a Shelby Cobra.
The Cobra was one of the featured cars in The Gumball Rally. It is also one of the better cars in Gran Turismo. I play a lot of Gran Turismo with my son Austin. I drive the Cobra because it kicks ass and I remember it from my childhood. It reminds about one of the few things my family did as a family when I was a kid.
Its funny what things we choose to remember about our childhoods.

Ooooh... vroom vroom! Nice wheels!
That is a cool car. I don't recall Gumball Rally. Might have to check that out for fun. I am working on my video game skills again but with Lego Star Wars. Z is obsessed.
I remember going to the drive in too. There is one in the next town, we meant to check it out last summer. Maybe I can give my kids a non-dysfunctional memory too. ; )
It's also amazing how seeing something can spark an entire string of memories too. Nice blog.
