YOURE KIDDING. THE 80'S WERE FUCKING AWESOME!

Everything went digital. The TV shows were the best. And it was the best decade EVER for crime and mayhem. I loved it. Now everything is SO clean.

Edit: The 80's underground club scene was UNREAL. Never will it be matched because the cops and politicians shut it all down

the 80s was ok for the rap and club scene ill give you that .. the rave scene the house music scene etc the "E" also contained MDMA back then lol
the bands of that time were not so great, it was the time of very gay pop music .. "style over substance" was the name of the game

many of the other things popular during the 80s were terrible ,and almost cringe worthy, the champagne charlie coke generation
men with perms, not afro's, Duran Duran .. shoulder pads, (Dallas and Dynasty)
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan LOL .. the list is endless but ill stop there

the 90s was an improvement i think .. today we are returning to the 80s with the new i-fag generation .. short on substance high on style

peace :)

Coho, good thread. This thread is moving so fast it's hard to keep up with. In 1966 gas was 17 cents a gallon where I was. Unbelievable! I just celebrated my 38th wedding anniversary last week and retired 3 years ago from a job that I had for 25 years. When I would visit my grandparents in the 50's they had no indoor plumbing and saturday night was bath day. My grandmother would heat water and we all took our weekly bath in the middle of the kitchen floor. I also remember the wasp nest in the outhouse thinking they were going to bite me in the ass. I remember the Adali Stevenson/Dwight Eisenhower debates in 1952, I was only 2 but the debate scared me for some reason and therefore I remember it.

Thank you all, it's good to talk with people my own age that have lived through it.

That is the one thing that scares me most of all. My health, we are all ticking time bombs. Take care of your wife. If you are like me she is your best friend I and don't have many anymore. Don't know what I would do if I lost her as we are together 24/7.

I remember when Coca-Cola tasted good, and cost 5 cents, candy bars too! My first car was a 72 Gran Torino with a 351 Cleveland. It was white and had the hood scoop. That car was stolen 3 times while I owned it. I also had a 55 Chevy Pickup with the wrap around back window, with a 283 under the hood. I've had a lot of cars, but those were two of my favorites. I also had a 72 Ford P/U that I would like to have back. I had Cragars on it and lots of chrome under the hood. 351 Windsor.

Your Torino brings back memories of Starsky and Hutch and their snitch Huggy Bear......
