My mom had a red 1991, and I puked in it a ton. I remember her yelling at me “I opened the window, all the smoke is going out the window what are you complaining about?”. Long smokey drives that made me so car sick.
I’m sure this happens today too, the difference is that the question “how is your relationship to her?” would have made no sense in 1980. Back then this was just normal and would not automatically lead to a bad relationship :)
Yep, riding in my moms 76 Honda civic, my mom would tell me (and my sister) to shut up when complaining about the smoke. Also the lit embers that would enevitably fling back into the back seat still hold some early memories.
Oh my sweet summer child. The van was brand new at the time.
The whole world used to smell like cigarettes. When the server at a restaurant asked if you wanted smoking or non smoking section, they used to be right next to each other.

Just seeing one gives me the queezies.
Smoke from the car or your mom?
A legitimate question. The smoke was from my mom.
Wow, that is so really terrible. I was expecting the car. Sorry to hear that. How is your relationship to her?
This is a hilarious reaction to anyone older than 40.
times really have changed a lot (for the better).
I think that is the reaction of someone who’s parents did not smoke. Why would that not happen today?

I saw a post recently along the lines of “in the 80 we only had 2 smells. Old cigarette and fresh cigarette.” not wrong that :D
