I remember as a little boy riding with my dad in his pickup. I would stand on the bench seat beside him. Crazy times.......

Oh hell no. Riding in the pickup, standing in the bed with your hands on the roof, looking at the road ahead. We were real men when I was a boy...

I remember when there were too many people, the kids got stuck in the bed of the pickup... on the highway!

My little sister would fall asleep standing up and leaning on my dad’s shoulder in the truck. I liked to get down on the floor board and play with my cars on the seat.

I loved riding in my Dad's Mercury convertible. Every chance I got, I'd stand up (behind the front seats on top of the axle hump) and enjoy the wind blasting into my face at upwards of 70mph. I thought it was awesome!

Today, that would get a parent thrown in jail.

I think this was the same model:

I couldn't have been older than 8 at the time.

Whenever I see these threads I remember riding back from the local public swimming pool with friends...the 6 of us sitting on the back of a flatbed pickup truck, hanging on for dear life and no concerns about being pulled over.
