    even though I'm old my dad was always all about safety so we had child seats for the car and he'd get seatbelts installed in the back seat of his cars. He had this super sport vw Karmen Ghia and we'd have to wear our seatbelts

    I remember when ATMs started. There was 1 at a mall in a town like a 15 minute drive away. They had to offer eventually incentives to get people to use them.
