I was recently in an antique store and saw one of those record selectors along with several speakers that you used to hang on your car windows at the drive-in movies. Anyone ever forget that speaker and drive off with it still hanging from your window glass?

You would have to remind me of those chunky-looking, big, cast aluminum drive-in speakers. I will never forget them as long as I live. Although, I did forget one of them once.
I was dating a rather attractive lady at the time, somewhat older and more experienced than myself. There was a mutual decision to leave the drive-in early. She still had the presence of mind to hang up her speaker. My mind was, of course, elsewhere. Those speakers were solid, their cords stout and well-mounted. My '76 Camaro was a potent beast. The driver-side window - not so much.
The next day, my dad saw me taking a few clean towels out to my car, it having rained the night before. He asked why I hadn't learned to roll up my windows when I parked my car. I knew he'd see it with the window wide open for a few days until I could afford replacement auto glass. So I told him it was broken. He mentioned clear plastic and duct tape. I told him that looked trashy. He said no, it looks like somebody broke a window and wants to keep the rain out. "So," he then asked, "how DID you break the window?" I told I was just too embarrassed to go into it. I think my old man figured it out anyway somehow.
The keys were neat too but I never found a use for them either.
