I don't think they're supposed to be. In this context when they say "flying car" i believe they mean personal flying machine that can take off and land from any location without needing a runway. Like a personal vehicle you can get into from your driveway then fly directly to the grocery store and back. Basically a helicopter that can take off and land anywhere, not just at a helipad

Don't mark the alarm done till it's in your mouth. Snooze the alarm 5 min if you must

This is about if you remember a thing that happened at a specific time in history. None of what you wrote applies to that. It's literally just if you were alive and aware at the time when car radios were frequently being stolen. As i said previously, you're either gen x or just very barely a millennial.
