For me, it's tube tops... <sigh>
Small rwd rally cars dominating rally entries. le sigh.
My teenaged girlfriend, now she's freaking old.
Almost as old as me!
Nothing really. I have my 75 Stingray.
In reply to stroker :
Close. Go back to the early 70s and halter tops. Trying to study outdoors in the quad, they nearly made me fail my exams!
Decal and stripe packages. Seriously.
I wasn't an oops yet, but the music was pretty good in the early 70s. Hendrix, Steppenwolf, and iron butterfly are in regular rotation at my house.
My awesome hot wheels collection and all the free time I had to play with them.
Music? No... High school? No... Violent school mates? No... A steady decrease in performance and mileage in cars? No...
Farrah Fawcett poster... Ok, that is something.

The 60's. The 60's didn't hit the Prairies 'till the 70's.

I would wear that to church every Sunday.
I attended Downers Grove South (Illinois) and was a sophomore in 1978. We had a smoking area consisting of a lot of burnouts. This bring backs a lot of wierd memories.

My first kiss.
And my first...oh, wait a minute...
Um, i was only conceived in the very end of the 70's so I miss(ed) all of them.
Guilt free Cocain?
Kidding of course, I was a bit young for that. One thing I don't miss is the pop music of the 70's, it was horrific (rock was good of course) and the main reason I didn't really listen to music until I was out of high school.
Small rear drive cars
Leaded gas
I was a little kid at the time, so while girls in hot pants and halter tops are great I don't have a perfect recollection.
Sex, drugs, & rock and roll, 1st ex-wife, plus being 40 years younger.
Baseball managers that didn't give a damn about a pitcher's pitch count.

I liked 70's Funk and some of the Disco.
The rest of the decade sucked for a young kid in Michigan. What I remember is oil crisis, inflation, drop in car sales, massive layoffs, recession, Japan bashing, school funding cuts. repeat.
