There must be some kind of mistake here, cause I really don't feel that old!

Maybe we should grade on a curve :roll:

Hi Dude, like your quiz. I remember every single one of them. Old? Guess 73 is not THAT old, all depends on the answer to : How old would you say you are if you didn't know how old you are? I enjoy your posts, keep 'em coming

A lot of the things in the main quiz (not including MTD's additions) were still popular in the late 1960s - this must have been authored by someone in their early 20s or so. I missed out on riding in a Packard and a Studebaker (unless you consider the Avanti still a Studebaker), but just about everything else was commonplace in most smaller towns.

If I was REALLY older than dirt I would have FORGOTTEN most of the things on the list!
