I love the way Travis tells these stories... with all of the "allegedly", "maybe", and "possibly" qualifying terms intact! Being from a small town with parents who were just as invested in not being embarrassed as they were in raising their son in a responsible way, I could not get away with anything (which probably kept me out of a lot of trouble)! There were times when I would do "something stupid" while driving my 1959 Chevy Bel Air around town, and by the time I got home my mother already knew what I had done... due to an extremely competent network of "Mom's friends" (aka: "little birds")! Couple that with the police departments in our town and the larger nearby city knowing my Dad personally, and I was doomed to a life of compliance and abiding by the law!

Travis I feel your pain brother. I am a legitimate red headed step child. In my high-school there were 2 red heads. A 5 foot 100lb kid and me, a 6' 225lb asshole. Whenever people were questioned as to who was involved whenever they said "the big red headed guy" they knew exactly who was being talked about. I am so glad none of my boys have red hair

I guess it's a sign of the changing times.
@KingOath3 жыл бұрын
It’s actually a good thing, the kids have more social freedom to be true to themselves and still be accepted in social circles, especially by the opposite sex. Back in the day you needed a licence and a car or you weren’t cool. There were probably loads of kids back then who had no interest in cars or driving but did it anyway to look cool and mature because that was expected. Nowadays they don’t seem to feel that peer pressure so much. There’s also that cars were a form of escapism, freedom to get away from your awful strict old fashioned parents and go exploring with your friends as soon as you got the chance. These days many kids are staying at home much longer and have a lot less to rebel against, so it makes sense.

You like donutmedia, huh? And shit I dont get why kids dont like it. I was the kid would take the car at 14 to drive my friends home from school or to am/pm. My family didnt give a shit because I was safe out of fear of being assraped by the law and a good driver since my grandpa taught me when I was 10 so if he had a heart attack I could drive him to the hospital. Its ironic I love cars so much but I cant drive them comfortably anymore due to a disability, god has a sick sense of humor
