Not in the neighborhood I grew up in! For starters it was a corn field before so there were no trees fit for the job....

Was very common in south Florida with the Banyan trees. Today if I do that with the same exact tree the county will fine me and confiscate the car for not running. I do miss the old days.

I was always the guy in the tree.

Great photo.
Reminds me of a much simpler time.
As a kid we never locked our doors, today you can't not lock your doors.

That's me on the left with my hand on the crank pulley. That pic was taken in the spring of 1982. In this one I'm in front of the Charger.
