Back in the 1970s, my Dad would cut those seat belts out of every car he owned. Us kids would just rattle around the back seat or the back of a station wagon.

I loved the pickup trucks my uncles had at the time. I'd leap into the open bed, sometimes with my dog, and take a ride. Nothing screams freedom to a kid more than riding in the back of an open pickup and having the wind blow through your hair.

At the time, nobody ever thought that behavior was irresonsible.

LOL, it’s a miracle we survived our childhoods.

Yeah, my Dad had an old 57 stepside chevy pickup. Sometimes he'd drive while I hung on to the window frame with my feet on the step behind him. I could yell at him if he went too fast!
