I remember doing most of the things shown. It's strange that most of that life is past. Some of it still exists. For instance, you can still go to the speedway, or even get involved in hot rodding cars and going to the drag strip yourself. However, a lot of the vibe that was present in the various video segments is gone now.

I am personally on my phone much of the time, and it does interfere with doing real things. I am going to make an effort to get out and do real stuff more.

My wife absolutely did this! Sometimes she'd scream so suddenly it startled me and I started to swerve to avoid whatever she saw, when it really was only a distant car slowing down gradually.

Snl I Can Feel It GIF by Saturday Night Live


Here's a clip of raw footage from my in-car camera. I didn't want to doxx my wife... but c'mon babe, we did talk about this.

I feel so bad for my kids, even though my youth wasn't as good as in those segments but as gen Y we still grew up without smartphones and all the degenerate stuff around us now.

Hey at least I can still take them out fishing hiking and dirt biking!

You might be able to find local racetracks that are affordable. It is generally an enjoyable crowd. At some tracks, you can still get up close to the pits, talk to the drivers and crew, etc. Racing still draws a crowd of guys that live in the present, be they blue collar car-builders or trophy car executives.

There is a race track near me and I have been there several times. It would be practical to hot rod a car and take it there sometimes. You get a handicap based on your quarter mile time during time trials, so you can race other cars that are faster or slower, and it's all about who can beat their average from their time trials.

Looks like a lot of fun, and a good group of people to hang out with.

My local racetrack was hard core anti-Covid lockdown, and they got in trouble for it several times. Good people.
