Wow....I hope they have improved the technology somewhat. We used to have one in Aransas Pass many years ago ... the two biggest problems were finding a good speaker to hook on your window and then of course... fighting the mosquitos.
Interesting RM that you should title your thread that!

When I was in high school, the Lone Tree Drive Inn (In Victoria) showed X-rated shows - one night we took two car loads of girls over there and I admit we did sneak some in........ I dont' think we stayed 10 minutesOriginally posted by pirate44

Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

I drove a little, baby blue VW with limited trunk space in the front of the car. Kinda cool though....easy to converse with the person you had hidden.

The last movie I saw at a drive-in was King Kong....I was sitting in a lawn chair in the back of a truck!

Not to mention, those in the neighborhood who couldn't afford the ticket, probably just took their own popcorn and sodas to the roof ... who needed to hear the words anyway.Originally posted by Bandera YaYa
