We did crazy things but somehow still survived to tell the stories.

You won’t believe some of the things we did as kids growing up in the ’60s and ’70s—things that would leave today’s safety-conscious parents clutching their pearls in disbelief. Back then, childhood was raw, messy, and gloriously unsupervised. We took risks without thinking twice, often with little more than scraped knees and dirty clothes to show for it. But the best part?

Your brain was your smartphone, and it had unlimited storage.

In the modern world of 2025, our brains have been happily outsourced to the supercomputers we carry in our pockets. We no longer need to remember phone numbers, how to get to a new address, or a host of other facts that are now just a quick search away.

Uncover the costly mistakes of classic car ownership from the golden age of motoring.

Owning a classic car from the 60s and 70s can seem like stepping back into a romanticized version of motoring history.
