[@tammyrenee64]

LMBO, took me back Etta May,I had forgot about our lighters and our own ashtray, yeah 72 sounds about right🤣

[@rosebailey3537]

Yup! Me and my brothers used to try to burn each other for fun!! Lmaooooo 😂😂 no such thing as seat belts....so we just jumped on each other and held the lighter close until someone screamed "UNCLE " Ohh the good ol days 😂😂

[@angryhubby2998]

Etta is totally southern funny! I'm looking for opinions. I'm new at this. Angry Grandma is my mentor. ANGRYHUBBY2998. If you wouldn't mind please. Thank you. Take care!

[@marlenefolta6912]

So funny Etta May😂you were right on. 🎉

Anyone remember the station wagon with the 3rd row seats that faced the back of the car? We'd be waving to anyone behind us! 😂

[@MarshaCole-cf9hm]

Yup

[@LazaroMunoz-x6k]

My dad had one we love d it

[@janetcrandall1769]

That far back seat made me car sick! 😂

[@KrisSimmons-x9c]

Had one in college in 1999 in NS 😂

[@Snaketamer-w4y]

The "backety back!" That's what I used to call it!

[@lindyc.2552]

My brothers and I never used the back seat lighters on each other, but as kids, whenever we went around curves, we would smash each other against the side doors.

[@vickijo2343]

And yell "long corner"!!

[@iamsecond3625]

😂 oh yeah! Road trips were so much fun!

[@hcklberypinkbrownies5170]

We grew up not wearing seat belts. Laid up in the back window. ROLLED the windows up and down. And got smacked asking for a Popsicle!! 💚 O+

Laying in the back window !!! YES!!

She is so very very funny

[@davidboose8426]

I feel cheated now. Dad always got the cars that just had one backseat ashtray, in the middle of the back of the front seats

[@lindamcelmurry5807]

So funny. I remember

[@stevedavis5704]

Don’t forget in the backseat of that car you could put a half a dozen kids or more. At least four actually in the seat and if needed you could put two on the floor boards and one in the back window. That didn’t count the three that could sit on laps if needed. The guy in the back window had to be careful to not get sunburned but that was pretty much the only concern we had with that. Even little cars could be fun. I remember putting all eight of the cub scouts in my den in the neighbors VW bug for transport back and forth to den meetings. On the ride home you just had to put the kids in the car in the order that they would get out so the first out would be the last in.

[@joannemiller2465]

Loved sleeping in the back window!

[@Squirrelymama222]

I also remember "The Wagon"!! You could have a softball team in the back and could play "Hide and go seek" and "Red River"!! Those were some of the best days to be a kid!! My aunt and uncle had 5 kids. We would all pile into their station wagon, and have a ball. I also remember riding in the back of my grandad's pickup. Not a care in the world,😅

[@linda4853]

Etta will you be my neighbor?! Girl, coffee time would be so much fun!

[@tammyrenee64]

I also remember no seat belts on our school buses, hell we didn't have a place to sit most of time, had to stand up in the aisle, and I still think that bus driver was trying to kill us🤣 those were the days kids✌️

[@MarshaCole-cf9hm]

Or wanting to sit in the very back of the bus because on some of the hilly roads you could catch air time on the dips at the bottom of the hill

[@tammyrenee64]

@@MarshaCole-cf9hm yes, or my bus driver would hit speed humps really hard 😱 still thinking he was out to get us 😂✌️

[@UrbanKiwiana]

😂😂,I was literally sitting in my car earlier thinking Remember when that usb port plug thing use to hold a lighter and sometimes youd pick it up to light your cigarette an its slip between your legs..you learnt to hold it tighter after a few times 😂, Its so strange how different things are now days,

GO ETTA MAY! I STILL have my 1979 Ford Thunderbird - and ALL of the memories. Although, I have to confess, I'm over 50. 💕😻💕

[@jamesfischer2427]

The really hard to believe one is kids riding in the back deck under the rear window

[@WinyanStaz1]

Two of my little sisters, my little brother and I ...used to fight over who got to lay in the back window sill. My stepfather always would let his son get the window if we hollered too loud about who got it.

[@randalbuhler9042]

[@suzannewinterrowd6321]

I absolutely totally over the moon love Etta Mae the stuff she does in her comedy show oh my God we all know it's true cuz we're old and it's so true😂😊😅😂😂😂😂

[@gailsteele3046]

Just re-lived my childhood except my dad’s peanut can spittoon and yea! I sat behind my dad…we had no AC in the car and once in awhile he would spit out the window…you get the picture…

[@wendyhamilton2696]

Cherry RED…I stuck my thumb in the lighter when I was reaching for it as it rolled under the seat when my grandpa and me were driving to Colorado that lasted about 1.1 second and I pulled my thumb out and it already had a blister on the top of it. Nice give each of the kids a lighter nice. The 70s and 80s. Mostly fond memories.

[@rjq2809]

I have that exact brand on my left arm and one on each thigh....

[@melodypowell4042]

I LOVE this woman " Everthang " she says is gospel!!! 😅😂😅

[@pixywings]

That thing isn't a lighter! It's for heating up "Hi Dad" Soup! 🤣

[@hectorgautier101]

Dang 😳 remember no seatbelts and cigarette lighters.

[@DanWint]

OH the 60s and 70s, what fun.

[@jr82sporty]

Damn it I wish you would come to Syracuse New York you are funny as shit I didn't know that was a lighter that caused that spot on my shoulder I always thought it was a smallpox vaccination the only problem is I don't have no older brother so it must have been my father that did it to me dammit LMFAO

[@rickyparrish8310]

Something you might have forgot i had a coworker who had an older big car got a new t bird sedan traded it back for an older big car i asked him why he said he couldn't get girls to have sex in the back seat of the small sedan 😮😅

[@melissapatrone9155]

All true, and those lighters are hot

[@WilliamSpoehr]

I never heard of "Rodeo," but there was one thing boys did called Slug Bug. The first one to see a VW beetle yelled Slug Bud and the color then punched hi brother's shoulder as hard as he could. The punchee just had to take it. Of course if he saw the next one he could smack his brother. We never did that or even heard of it, but other people have told me about it.

[@christinejoslin9913]

Love your stuff ma'am keep i 2:41 t up

[@MarthaMeredyk]

Love you Etta Mae❤😂🎉😊

[@jr82sporty]

Boy you really put a hurting on Lindsay she don't even know what it was like to grow up in the 60s and the 70s Laying across the back window sitting in the back pickup truck eating Donuts on the way to the dump

[@clintsmith7128]

Those lighters were fingerprint analyzer/removers! And they worked very well!

[@joannepatonai4114]

A friend of mine and myself had one thing in common we both wanted tlto see if it was going to work by putting our finger at the end of the burner and found that it did.!@#

[@hollystringer8582]

Think that was my childhood in the backseat as a kid too

[@uncledarren4262]

I taught the girls to keep those lighters hot when out with boys. If they made a move my girls didn't like they were getting a lighter in the eye!

[@brandysmith-n3g]

Oh Yes. I definitely remember the lighters in the cars. When I was very young I wanted to see if the lighter gets real hot. Well, I found out the hard way by putting my finger into the center of that lighter and I found out very quickly. And I definitely have a mark from the Smallpox shot. I remember the day I received it. OUCH!!! Etta May is one of the most funniest comedians ever.

[@simoneerceg7116]

I'm 65 and if you look right there on my arm you would see just what Etta speaks of. It hurt like hell but us girls took it like a man

[@kamiko70]

3 boys my mom on long road trips I slept on the floorboard, middle brother got the seat yeah he got branded, little brother was on the shelf above the seat under the window

[@Esther-1914]

Sounds wild. But it's all true. I lived it.

[@MelissaNoble-dl2gb]

I'm embarrassed to admit at age 4, yes I remember, I got in the car fooling around. I was not ever to get in the car alone. I knew it was wrong. My parents smoked so I had seen the lighter used. I decided to heat it up. After removing the lighter I thought wonder how hot is it. So I stuck it to my cheek. I removed it so quickly that I only had a half circle left for years. I threw the lighter in the floorboard and ran into the house. I was crying and stuttering through the tears as I told my mom what I had done. Flyswatter time. 😊

[@susanhowell6838]

Good old days❤

[@gingw7333]

My Mom, little as she was, could sling an arm over that V8 Dodge's front seat and hit the correct of 4 mouths every time if we got rowdy. So no lighter wars. I do remember trips from Oklahoma to Oregon every year to visit family starting at 4 a.m. My sleeping place was in the back window. I just asked to be woken up when the Rockies came into view. Otherwise I slept the whole way.

[@MaryRecklein-nm5ih]

We had a 73 fury3 with 4 doors n 4 lighters. I'm 5..2 n I could lay down on the back seat using arm rest for pillow.

[@nitababcock3977]

My dad had a 74 Chevy Impala, 3 on the tree, I learned to drive. It had a cigarette lighter in it, yeppers.

[@kimmonroe8305]

I remember those days before smoking became outlawed, every car had a lighter in the front and in the back, good old days.

[@jerryupp9387]

The car cigarette lighter takes 12 seconds to get hot and pop up. Not 30 seconds

[@ronbon321able]

Its true!! Ashtrays with lighters!!

[@lisa-kg1nk]

Back in the late 50’s my husband was playing in his grandfather’s new car found that lighter and put perfect little round holes in the seat grandfather did nothing but when he got home he got it
