  Wow, that is so really terrible. I was expecting the car. Sorry to hear that. How is your relationship to her?

    This is a hilarious reaction to anyone older than 40.

    times really have changed a lot (for the better).

      I think that is the reaction of someone who’s parents did not smoke. Why would that not happen today?

        I’m sure this happens today too, the difference is that the question “how is your relationship to her?” would have made no sense in 1980. Back then this was just normal and would not automatically lead to a bad relationship :)

      Yep, riding in my moms 76 Honda civic, my mom would tell me (and my sister) to shut up when complaining about the smoke. Also the lit embers that would enevitably fling back into the back seat still hold some early memories.

        I saw a post recently along the lines of “in the 80 we only had 2 smells. Old cigarette and fresh cigarette.” not wrong that :D

    Oh my sweet summer child. The van was brand new at the time.

    The whole world used to smell like cigarettes. When the server at a restaurant asked if you wanted smoking or non smoking section, they used to be right next to each other.
