i think another reason that they are gone is they did not want everyone too be idleing your cars for 2 hours.

What I didn't like about drive ins was: The sound quality out of our old fashion car radios wasn't the greatest, If you were one of the "smaller" people in the group you got stuck sitting in the back of the car (which wasn't fun to watch from), If it rained you couldn't see the movie and if it rained hard enough they canceled it (you got a free ticket if this happened, but I remember one time the movie was 3/4 finished and they shut it down, which really sucks when it's a good movie and you really want to see the end), if you forgot to wash your windshield really well before the movie started it is very annoying looking though the specks.

However I will say if you're a teenager and you don't really care about the movie playing, it's a great social atmosphere and a very cool place to hang out at

Way back, we had a drive-in that we'd all go to every Saturday night. 2 people in the car, 2 more in the trunk with the beer. My buddy had a 69 Mustang GT. (real small trunk) The lock on the trunk used to stick real bad and had to be opened with a screwdriver. One night we couldn't get the trunk open and started to worry about the 2 kids inside, so we left the movie and drove to a late night garage for help. After being in there for over an hour, we finally got it open. Our 2 friends appeared to be unconcious. Just as we were about to call an ambulance, they jumped out laughing at us. Scared the crap out of me! Never the less, the very next Saturday there we were smuggling people and beer in again.

Oh to be young and stupid again!
