I sure do. I went to many drive in movies, as a child and later ,till they disappeared in my area. It used to be the ideal place for families, and those dating to go

We also had drive in restaurants, that were sort of a fad in the 1950's and early  60's. We still have one in my town. Every now and then, a newspaper will do an article and they are always mentioned

Sonic

A&W

When I was a kid, it was magical to eat in the car. 

Put those thick, heavy plastic seat covers to the test!

One of the local Lutheran churches offers a drive-in service on Sunday mornings.

When I was a teenager there were about four of them around me.  I had many a date in them, and saw many B movies!  I remember once when the guy I was dating borrowed his father's prized luxury station wagon to take us and another couple.  When pulling into the spot, he misjudged and ran the speaker all down the driver side of the car!  That really put a damper on the evening!

Drive In movies were great when our kids were young. PJ's and pillows, huge bag of popcorn with some Kool Aid. Fun times.

Few were around while I was growing up. I do remember in high school going with my boyfriend and the speakers were terrible and poor sound quality...

We loved them! Mom and Dad had a "date night" that included the kids and the dog!

Then in high school we'd sneak our friends in via the trunk! So much innocent fun then!
