What's a drive in ???:y2:

:y7: I thought everyone would know what that was, oh wait that is something different :y2:

I was over by a drive-in on Saturday. . . :wall: Most of ours are long gone but there are still a few and even a couple new ones. We do have a bunch of those like in Dave's photo. . . Drive-In liquor stores and people wonder why we have a drinking and driving problem around here.
 
Drive in liquor stores always made me laugh......in a sad way.....CRY
The best "weird combo" store was Kings Discount Drugs & Sporting Goods in Chipley Fl. (if the link works to the facebook page) I include this just incase you think I am kidding.

Pick up your prozac, ben gay, condoms, ammo, duck calls and a Glock all at the same time.........just weird......
 
Did they still have the Circus? Used to have a "Little Big Top" Circus show. I think PETA was on them at one point to stop it.
At the rate the flat screen T.V.'s are growing we all will have a drive in theater in our living room....seriously, saw an ad for a 70" flat screen yesterday......SAD
 
I've got to get Betty legal again before I can grab it. I got stopped by a State Trooper on my last ride. . . expired inspection sticker and she won't pass inspection as she sits now. I hope to have her back on the road this week.

I hit a pretty good pothole and lost her gas gauge and left front turn signal. I just need to pull off the plastics to get at the terminal strip, pretty sure it's just a couple loose connections.

The pothole wasn't all that bad, I knew there was a loose connection on the gas gauge which only took a sharp knock to lose the signal. Prior to the pothole I had noticed my turn signal flash reflection in the chrome cowboy bumper of the truck I was behind. When I hit the pothole I notice the gauge drop from full to empty and at the next intersection I did not notice the flash from the signal in the reflection.

I should have gotten a ticket, the inspection sticker had expired eight months ago but the Trooper let my excuse stand. I sort of told him the bike had been stored since the last ride and I was in route to get the inspection renewed. Well it wasn't a complete lie, Betty had been in the garage since the last ride earlier that morning. :y2: To be completely honest, I knew the sticker was expired and had known this since it expired.

Yes thats usually a good excuse, used a similar one years ago in my Isuzu Trooper (speedometer hadn't worked in months) got pulled over, explained I was on my (luckily pointed in the right direction) way to the dealership to get a new one as it being an Isuzu I couldn't get parts at the Auto Zone and was going to have to pay FULL (read fool) price at the dealer.....sat and had a "bitch fest" with the LEO about costs of repair parts for foreign cars for about 15 min. and he let me go with a "warning".........I really wasn't on my way to get a speedometer, and actually never got one, sold the thing 2 years later......Sorry officer Bob, if your reading this:y2:
In my defense it was an 86 Isuzu Trooper, the new speedometer and cable would have just about cost what the darn thing was worth......
