You know you're old if...

You had your car painted for $29.95. For that price, it probably included painting your tires, too.

When I was in Junior High School, the grandpa of a good friend painted his early '50's Pontiac with a paint brush. He used green latex paint. And, the paint brush streaks looked more like he used a broom.

I painted a friend's Datsun truck from light metallic blue to flat black while parked in his driveway overnight. I cut in around the windows and all the trim with a brush and rolled the rest. He didn't know anything about it until he came out in the morning. After he got over the shock he decided it was the greatest prank ever but he wished I had used gloss black.

Lived in apartments when I was a kid, so no lawn to mow. My first lawnmower was gas powered and given to me by my father-in-law when he decided to hire a gardener to mow his lawns.
