My sister and niece actually went with us too, which was great because when I was a kid my parents always took my sister and I together to see the movies. She hasn't been to a drive in since the old days- so it was a nice trip back in time for both of us. And of course idiot me didn't think to get a picture!!! :hissy:
I would have liked to play the Dr Dude pin- the pic of the nurse on the front was like a tractor beam :D

I saw CARS last year at the drive-in

Type in your zipcode on the left to see if there are still any drive-ins in operation in your area. I also use this when I go on weekend trips to see if there is a drive-in we can hit one night.
EDIT: Just in case you don't notice, the mileage shown in the search results are not very accurate. Once you get the address off the drive-in's site, do a directions search over at yahoo or mapquest to get accurate travel info.
I LOVED the drive-in as a kid. We would throw an old matress and some blankets in the back of the pick-up truck and head out. I remember wearing my footie pajama's and going to sleep before the second movie. ;D
Currently the closest drive-in to me is an hour away. There is one down near my wifes family that we go to when we visit them.
Also, the local park and recreation district builds a temporary drive-in near a flood wall in October to show scary movies.

A funny story I remember at the drive-in near the in-laws. We went to see The first Fast & Furious movie at the drive-ins down there. After the movie, all the kids would rev their car/truck and peel out of the theater. The local cops would make sure to be sitting outside the theater every night that movie played to bust people. :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
