Yup, friend got plastered drunk and could not drive. We drove her home and got her in the drive to her garage. All she had to do was move forward like 10' and get out. Next time I'm there I get both parents 'when she gets like that again bring her ALL the way in. Apparently she hit the fucking side of the garage. Raised different indeed. My mom (and this girls mom too now that I think about it) would get us booze/beer/liquor. Frankly drinking got boring after I could do it legally.I still remember when I was 17 and threw a party for some friends. One friend drank so much she puked all over the couch, crashed, and the next morning looked like dead hammered dogshit someone had reheated in a microwave. I drove her home and helped her get to her door. Her mom opens the door, I have no idea what to expect, and she just points and starts cackling at her daughter.
We gen-Xers were raised different....

I took auto shop in high school (to fuck off mostly) and someone donated a 1963 AMC Ambassador Station Wagon to the shop class. Our shop teacher was cool as hell (he went drinking with us on the weekends - we were ALL underage) and decided to get the car running and put it in the demolition derby during the county fair. One of our 'tests' was to take it to the edge of the woods and knock all the glass out of it. Pic isn't the exact one but it's the same year/brand.Remember when cars looked like this?

Funny I was just talking to my wife about high school in Scotland while my dad/family was stationed there in the mid 80s. Even coming back states side and being in highschool in the early 90s things were so different than today. In Scotland i was 11? Maybe 12 when I entered high school (came back to US and put in 7th grade) and they treated you like a young adult. Lunch time? That's your time. Do whatever just be back in time for next class. Me and my friends would go into town for lunch etc. Back states side it was like a prison in comparison. Also want to say we there during Chernobyl incident.I took auto shop in high school (to fuck off mostly) and someone donated a 1963 AMC Ambassador Station Wagon to the shop class.
