I still remember my first drive in movie. My dad was stationed at Macdill and he and mom loaded up all four of us, in our pjs, into the VW bus and took us to go see Star Wars when it first came out. Great memory!!

I couldn't begin to remember all of the movies I've seen at the drive in. For my parents it was affordable entertainment as they could load me and my sisters in the station wagon and watch a double feature for a few dollars.
I remember hanging out on the playground at the base of the screen with friends from school who's parents used to go to the movies at the same time or let them come with us.

My parents used to take my siblings and I to the Drive-In quite often when I was little (late '60s). Back then you still had to use the speakers with cords but later you could use the radio in the car for the sound. Went a lot during my High School years (late '70s) because it was a good place to meet girls. Saw plenty of shock absorber tests being performed in the back rows. They were actually popular and successful businesses in Southern California because of the weather. There are two left in the area where I live but one has been slated to become a housing developement. Yeah, had all kinds of fun at those places over the years.
