The Cars We Thought Were Coolest in the ‘80s Are Now Vintage Classics
Gotta say that I was the proud owner of one of these gems. Actually, it was a POS, but I loved it! Did ya'll have any of these???

Nothing to Lose (1997), smacking scene. '90s comedies were so good!

Before computers and GPS existed, how did people figure out directions for large cross country trips?
This question is mainly for my US folks but any other car-centric countries can chime in. I know people had MAPS of course like u could break out a physical map and look at your route. But that seems so fucking complicated especially with how many roads intersect and weave together lmao

Heard an old song
I (53) heard Betty Davis Eyes yesterday. As I’m jamming, I’m smiling thinking about my two best friends in second grade. Every recess we’d sing this song at the top of our lungs. We thought we were so cool!!! Then I realized they were both gone. One died in a car accident in high school and the other died a few years ago because of poor health. I cried. Right there at work in the middle of the day. I know aging is a blessing, but that sure doesn’t make it easy. Have a fabulous weekend, my loves 😘 I hope all of our wishes come true!

The 80s female fitness craze.
The female fitness and aerobics craze was the broadest trend of the decade, almost everyone under 60 had some leotards & leg warmers.

The Jewel of the Nile (1985). Directed by Lewis Teague and written by Mark Rosenthal and Lawrence Konner, and starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. A worthy follow-up to a classic.
