Drive-in experience

[NJBob]

One of the last few family bargains out there. What is great with the Maverick is it has all that great space underneath the backseat so you can bring in Pepsi, Fritos, Milky Ways, etc. without any hassles from the off-duty DEA agents that work at todays Drive-Ins.

Think you have the last drive in in NJ. NJ is where drive ins started. Was a great place to take a date. There is one in Warwick NY not far from me.

We went a few weeks ago and I left the maverick on. It started itself (hybrid) maybe three times during each movie for about 2 min. Turned light switch to off at the start and no problems.

Drive in nearest me has brought back Top Gun: Maverick

wonder if any other Maverick owners want to have a impromptu gathering??
It’s in between San Antonio and Austin

Unfortunately, of the 10 in Florida, the nearest one to me is almost 2 hours away.

That’s great. You will get full use of your Maverick to move to an area that has a drive-in.

As kids, my folks would take us to the ones in Newton and Ledgewood. There was also one just over the state line in Pennsy. Matamoras, Pa. I think.

Nah. I think I"m staying here. Maybe I'll put my flatscreen in the window and back my Mav up to it and pretend I'm at the drive-in. Neighbors might think I"m weird. Of course, they probably already do.

Is that a bag of stuff from Bucees I spot? Time to guess what is in it—Big Red, Frito Pies, brisket, kolaches? Just need your wife Abilene with you and maybe some Curtis Grimes, Kevin Fowler , Creed Fisher, etc. to listen to before the show and you have a perfect night deep in the heart of Texas.

Only dark if turned off. Too many lights inside and out with running truck. Truck bed fits a full sized mattress perfectly with tailgate down. Sides are lower than other trucks so better views. Radio only lasts a few minutes so bring your own. Got a jumpbox with a radio so I will use that.

You can turn off this interior lights through the center screen.

Me and the family went on Saturday. We threw a twin mattress in the bed and strapped it down. We’ve gone a few times and this time we brought an FM radio that worked perfect. The last time we used the car radio but had to turn it back on every 30 minutes or so to prevent a dead battery. Plus I don’t have a rear window so we were blasting it out of the passenger windows. Not ideal. But this last time was perfect.

What is everyone using for an air mattress? I keep seeing people say a full size fits perfect but all the ones im looking at look to big (at least between the wheel wells). Are you making a platform above the wheel wells and putting the mattress there?

Newton is now a Lowes, it was empty for a long time with the screen still standing.Matamoras is a supermarket.

Search Amazon for a back of suv mattress. I used a full because that's what I had but will be getting the SUV version. Many are designed so the edges can fold up to fit the space and have a headboard. I wouldn't want to sleep on one but too watch a movie would be fine.

You’ll got great eyes, yes the turn off I used was at ‘world largest gas station’ got late dinner BBQ and chips with beaver nuggets and a drink.
I used an IKEA full mattress that’s only 4ins thick and works great.
