We are the same age, The 70's were Awesome. My first car was a Karman Ghia, best H.S. car ever.
Speaking of Driver's Ed, our Instrutor was a Reserve Police Officer. He bragged about it all the time. Scared us to death if we sped in his Drivers Ed car.... We were getting on the interstate in a 1973 Chevy Impala, and a car passed us. I floored it, and yelled, you're a cop, ets catch him... It was hilarious, but I got to stay after school for the rest of the week, lol
Good Times in the 70's, Bell bottom pants, and a leisure suit. "DISCO"!
