Drivers in the 1990s

He didn’t have the club.

They forgot to put the face on the radio

+ not leaving the radio/music player alone in the car. That was expensive.

I still remember my drug dealers pager number.

Haha. Yup!

The map book would be a challenge for most people under 30 😂 First hurdle is using the index at the end. Second hurdle is locating the page and the location on the page. (it uses nested quadrants) Third hurdle is navigating from one page to another. Fourth hurdle is orientation. Way too much hurdles, people are already confused by GOS which put a bold line one the map, orient it properly and warn about line configurations. I remember two times where I did facepalm as a student. The first time, we had to see a doctor and we were given verbal instructions. Of course, when we stepped out of the subway, we all forgot those. So, one of us bullshited and I looked at a big map right outside the subway and told the guy was wrong. But everyone trusted him, so I said ok. We circled back to the subway, then they listened. Another time, we prepped for an orientation course. I was quite weak compared to others, but trained in orientation due to youth movement. Usually, people get one or two extrat hours on expected time. With us going through all, we weree expected to shave at least one hour and thus, rest before the next trial. When we started, I didn't had the map, another guy tried to direct us and we ended up losing 15 minutes and circle back. So, I agressively asked the map and explained you can literally hear running water om our right, so if north is that way, we are on that side of the river, then we can look at the relief. Quickly spotted where we were and where to aim for the azimut. Told we would walk, because scaling will be involved and we will also have to find a way to cross the river. So, a small detour may be required and we would have to do another azimut. We arrived about 45 minutes before the other team which was also in training. 🤷‍♂️ The other team was destroyed and when I asked what path they took, they did literally took the trails. The teacher was very pleased that we did under the time and were rested. So, I end up in the team for the real trial. It's announced that the "green" trial will start and the teacher doesn't pick me 🤷‍♂️ Our team was 2 hour late because they bad penalties for missing markers 😂 Luckilly, other teams didn't fare much better. (It's also a strategy to "miss" marker when the penalty is less than the time to reach it or if you want to preserve your team stamina) When the result was announced, I asked why I wasn't taken and it was a mix of "I forgot" and "other were really though (prepared)". Yes, but the point was to obliterate them through the best mavigation as we did in training 🤷‍♂️ We lost, because the teacher shat himself seeing competitors were better equipped (shoes and clothes). So, for me it transformed to days without school and without lifting the finger 🤣

That jam hell ya

Seat Belted pimpin? Not in the 90's my friend.

I like this car

Lol on point

The days of wine and roses!

Good people 📺☎️📟

yup, thus why we still remain the best drivers of this century. See how he didn't hit a damn thing? "Almost" doesn't count. 😎

We've come a long way, baby! 🤘♥️

Yes But not while driving

😳

Lol

Good old times, when driving to rural customers it always was like: The map brought me too the village, now I have to look for a phone booth, call the customer, hope that he hears the ring and describe the last miles. And hope that confused grannie does not pick up, or toddlers.

Nice

Old beautiful days CD, pager , our google map we struggling to find location

I still remember getting a pile of AAA maps when preparing for a trip. We would go to the AAA office and ask for a travel advice. Good times 😄

😆😆😆😆🎯

The map thing never happened unless you were going on a long trip. I don’t even get me started on the distractions, that drivers have today with the cell phone. Some people are reading or writing a whole email, texting,finding music on their phone,holding a phone while talking and driving. so this was a bit overdone because usually people got their CDs ready before a long trip as well as their map. So, there are just as many, if not more distractions today, than there were in the 90’s. I know a couple of people, that got in wrecks, because they were reaching for their cell phone in a bag on the floorboard of the passenger side, because they just couldn’t miss that text or call! And in today’s society, something that I really don’t understand is why people are not always hands-free, when it comes to the cell phone because almost all cars on the road today have Bluetooth capabilities and you can take $100 and go to Car Toys if you have a really old car and they can get you a stereo installed, with Bluetooth.

I think sey na words of God he wan preach that moment wey Bible come out

Yep. Still safer than trying to use the touchscreen on the console for everything. Cars have gone backwards with the “app” approach

old memories

Familiar except for the beeper! 😂

Very nostalgic, but to be honest i don't miss any of those, CD's scratched up after some time and Google maps seconds to search and easier to follow. But yeah simple times i guess.

Idiots will always be Idiots, no matter what the century they're on.🤔

Forgot the lockbar on the steering wheel.

So true

Real af lmao

I still do that.

Definitely me!
