I already miss WFNX, and of course WBCN. I also miss the old radio shows they used to have on WEEI. I used to fall asleep to Dragnet, The Shadow, and Lights Out Everybody. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
Did you ever flip over the air cleaner cover to get that really big "WHOMP" when the secondaries kicked in? I don't know if that made the car go faster, but it sure seemed like it.
My old elementary school, which is now condos. Once in awhile I'll get a call there, and it's strange/sad to look at it.
That also worked for 2 bbl carbs, to make it sound as though you had a 4 bbl under the hood. The only noticable diferance was how quickly the fuel gague went towards "E"
It did give you a little power boost as the air intake resistance would be a little less. Basically, it made beathing easier for the engine. And, the more air you get, the more fuel you can burn.
True in theory, but everyone who flipped the air cleaner cover also kicked it in the guts everytime they could just to hear the roar, hence poor gas mileage.
Which is a good segue into " I miss leaded regular gas for 39 cents a gallon, and the smell of leaded gas when you were filling up your tank for about six bucks."
It seems to make an appearance every year or two. IIRC, I thought they first came out with the McRib during the Flintstones Movie promotion (the one with John Goodman) in the mid 90's.
100 point to anyone who remembers the classic rock station that preceeded COZ...hint it had an AM sister station.
Diet Vanilla Pepsi.....I absolutely LOVED that stuff, and after it was no longer carried in MA, I had my brother buy-out every 12-pack in North Conway NH before he came down to visit. Sadly, it's been completely discontinued now, but I have 1 can left in my refrigerator that I'm saving for a special occasion.
Can't drink soda now but I loved Castle Rock Springs in Saugus . We used to go weekly and fill up those old glass bottles in the cool antique wooden crates then return the bottles each trip.
I miss the days when a Court Officer would make the old, more formal announcement that court was in session. instead of just saying "All Rise" or "Court" the Court Officer would say something like "Oye, Oye, Oye. All Rise. The 3rd District Court of Bristol County is now in session, the honorable John Smith presiding. All parties having business before the court draw close, and ye shall be heard. God Bless the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." It's been a long time since I've heard it so I don't remember the exact phrasing, but it was along those lines.
Oh no kidding. That's good. I'd rather see the 39 cents a gallon gas again, but I'll take what I can get.
I never go to court anymore (EVERYTHING is dismissed of CWOF'd), so I couldn't tell you if they do it anymore around these parts. Except for probation surrenders, I've been inside a courtroom twice in the last 4 years, in spite of being among the arrest leaders on my PD.
