How was it in the 60s-80s?

1968-70. went to school in Athens ga, home was in s w ga like 200 mile one way, 68 ford f150, 289 stick. knew all the backroads, shortcuts around most of the small towns, kept it between 80 and 90 all the way. 2 hr 30 min. all 2 lane blacktop, many a time I was runnin that fast and a fr-----ga state trooper went around me like I was sittin still!! LOL
made the trip home with buddy in his 68 sport satellite, 383, 4 speed, we made the trip a little quicker then, open spots would open it up wide open for short bursts,just laugh and giggle, we figured we'd get drafted, sent to Nam and get killed anyway, and never thought about anything breakin!!!!!!
