Graduated from high school in 1962. I can definately relate and it was my favorite movie from the firs time I saw it when it was first released.

I might have mentioned this before, but I was there in Modesto during the time the movie was set.  Promos for the movie by the Wolfman said "Where were you in 62?".  I was attending Modesto JC and so was Lucas, but I never met him.

Even though it was filmed north of San Francisco in Petaluma, I could relate to cruising down 10th and up 11th, both were one-way streets.  I was driving my 58 F100 with a 312 and had my share of races from stop light to stop light.  There was this guy in a yellow 32 5-window that kept asking me to go out to Paradise Road, but I always told him I had to go study.
