When I was young, there was a family in my town that had a convertible.
A f**king convertible!
Who actually owned a convertible besides Hollywood stars and the rich and famous? These people were obviously billionaires, right?
As I got older, I realized that while convertibles are certainly cool and a lot of fun on the open road, they’re not THAT big of a deal. And normal people can have them, too.
That was a hard lesson to learn my friends…
People on Twitter talked about what thought was super classy when they were kids and the thread is a lot of fun.

3. The best!
I loved a good video store!
Having a #blockbuster night. Whenever my parents would take us I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It was pretty expensive for my family. I knew my parents were really giving us a treat when we were able to go and rent a bunch of movies and get snacks. pic.twitter.com/7ZghUGWv5Z
