I tell my kids the same thing. (We're at the same stage you all are.)
"Yeah, we got to ride in the back of pick-ups. We'd lay the seats down in the back of my dad's 280Z and my sister would have a pillow pallet back there. We ride in the storage space of the Suburban or the station wagon, and sometimes when we were tired, we'd pull the vinyl shade from its roll over us and take a nap!
"Also, your aunt's head went through a windshield not once, but twice. IT WAS A PART OF LIFE."
