What do you miss from your Teenage years

Seems like everyone I knew in high school, both guys and girls, all knew how to drive a stick shift. We grew up in the country.
I wouldn't want to drive one today though. But it seemed a natural thing back then.

Yeh, baby.

Watch plaid!!!

And "London Fog" jackets.
 
I'm not sure how to explain this. I became a teenager, when JFK was elected (1960). Before, the President was Ike. He was old, lived on a farm, and painted. He was bald, and was always having heart attacks. Mame was as fashionable, and exotic as my grandmother. It was hard picturing them in bed together, without someone shouting, "Clear!!". Then came JFK and Jackie. They were young, alive, and lived in a "compound" on the shore. On TV, there was Dick Van Dyke. He was kind of TVs version of JFK, with his Laura. It was the switch from old , and worn out, to young and alive. It was those 3 years from 1960. The era of vitality-promise- and hope.
