I put a roll of caps on the curb and then hit it with hammer. My ears rang for hours after that. That was one of those, "I won't do that again" moments.

Five of us hit the ground so damn hard we couldn’t continue. Good times.

Yeah bottle rockets and Roman candle fights!

Sad to see these places abandoned. I imagine based on the overgrowth it hasn’t been used in some time

I actually prefer the floor position for mountain passes in winter. Rounding a corner you don't have to take you hand out of position to dim the lights.

And yes, I knew I was old 10 years ago when I told my baby brother I couldn't get out of our race car window any more and for me, rallying, autocross and crew is my future. He thinks he's gonna go till he's 70 or more. We'll see.

Round 1 bounce the ball, pick up 1 jack, catch the ball before it bounces again.

Round 2 bounce the ball, pick up 2 jacks, catch the ball before it bounces again.

Round 3 bounce the ball, pick up 3 jacks, catch the ball before it bounces again, etc. til you pick them all up. When you miss and the ball bounces again it's the next player's turn. The player who picks the most up wins. Simple, but it took skill.

Never played but watched my sisters play (they would've killed me, lol).

I did use one of those when I worked at the Sears gas station in the mid 80's. Related, my credit union credit card was compromised a few weeks back and the replacement is the first credit card I've had that didn't have the raised numbers.
