We love to do the drive-in, and when we had our German cars we would just take chairs and sit outside. I hate bugs, though, so looking forward to being able to just use the Maverick and stay inside. The hybrid can just stay on and run the engine briefly when needed.

The drive-ins of my youth had a speaker that you hung on your window. No need to use the radio. Of course the sound quality sucked but we didn’t care. It’s the ambiance of watching under the stars with a mild breeze blowing that we were there for. Plus, if the movie sucked you could play at the playground. :)
They were like that when I was a kid too. But low power FM transmitters provide better sound with less maintenance.

The current drive in I go to has always been radio-only, since it was only built like twelve years ago or so.

Mostly I know that my wife would get annoyed if I got out of the truck at that moment and the sound shut off on her 😆

Just curious -- what drive in is that? I used to live in Indiana, but I don't think I've been to that particular one.
I worked at the Y&W in Merrillville when Star Wars came out it played as its own double being so popular, I had to listen to it over and over, I hate that movie 😆

that was actually more green than using your battery 🔋, glass bottles had to be returned to get your deposit back and the most green of all was cloth diapers, green and stinky but all diapers are stinky
