June 06 2025 - Buy Your Own Damn Car

Prompt - On June 6, 1933, eager motorists parked their automobiles on the grounds of Camden Drive-In, the first-ever drive-in movie theater, located on Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Have you been to a drive-in movie? If you have been to a drive-in was it with family or with friends or on a date? If you haven't been to a drive-in, can you remember a movie that featured scenes with drive-ins?

I'm writing this on the fly... well train to be exact. Heading home after a long week. I would ordinarily be getting in to my car once I arrived at the train station, but some tw@ has stolen my car and taken it for a joy ride. My hubby just got a phone call from the police as someone has reported the car as driving dangerously and erratically... they are in pursuit. I doubt I'll have an intact car by this evening. And it can't remember if the insurance has a courtesy car included. Needless to say I will not be going to a drive in movie this weekend!

I have never been to a drive-in movie. The weather doesn't really scream outdoor movie in the UK. To many chances of rain. I'm not even sure if they have them in Australia.... they feel like a US thing. I base this solely on Greese and Travolta... so the only drive in movie I have ever seen is the cartoon about the hotdog doing circus tricks and then jumping in the bun.
