Dueling.

Dueling.

That would make for a much more civil society, I believe, if you knew someone could call you out for an insult!

 

[gratus fermentatio]

The ancient gladiatorial games.

Actual stick shifts on affordable cars....**** automatics, although they have vastly improved. Americans are a truly lazy lot!!!

 

[unionrdr]

Not always. I've noticed over the years that the stick shift versions of a given model get beat on a lot harder than the automatics do. So the automatics are generally in better shape. Especially with any kind of sport coup, since F & F came out.

Since 1955?

I hate Hard Core pits. they are hipster pits in my eyes. what kind of obscure crap can we do to prove how hard core we really are? I've been in the most tame of circle pits to violent chaos pits, but I always hated the moronic crap of people trying to out do each other/prove themselves with stupid crap like the weed eater, the lawn mower, flying monkey, etc.

I'm too old to actually get into a pit, but enjoy from the sidelines. I like the sweaty, can barely move, float with the crown kind of pit.

Politicians who care as much about their jobs as they do about their careers.

Can't bring back what we never had.

Nothing lazy about not wanting to shift gears in to days congested traffic. Don't get me wrong I like driving a stick shift but I want it to be where I can enjoy it.

the "Woman's touch" thread

 

[unionrdr]

I prefer a stick myself. But the problem over here comes in with the fact that most sport touring coupes with a stick have been beat on pretty good by the young buyers attracted to these cars. I had to buy an ATX car of one-owner vitage to get one in good shape. But these days, with a bad back & hips, it comes in handy.

Remember when the high beam switch was on the floor?

Remember when the high beam switch was on the floor?

Yessir. And the wiper control was a pull knob.

 

[Kirkwooder]

Remember when the wipers only had one speed, and then two speed wipers came along and that was a big deal.

I remember when hamburgers cost a nickel and black folk weren't allowed to look you in the eye!

I'm more than happy to pay $4.00 for a burger if it means "black folk" can do the same, at the same establishment AND look me in the eye. Far too few people look each other in the eye these days, no matter what color they happen to be.
Regards, GF.

So you wish they'd bring that back? When you said you were a d-bag redneck you weren't kidding.

 

[unionrdr]

I still wish BMC's would go back to their old recipes. I miss the "real beer flavor".

I think he said, "I remember when..."

Not precisely the title of the thread. Maybe he got confused with the OTHER thread, titled, "Remember when....?"

 

[Homercidal]

Try Michelob Original Lager, or Stroh's. I think both are pretty good. There's another one out there that reverted back that I don't mind so much, but I can't recall which one right now.

A time before organized religions.

 

[vanishingpint]

Was there?

 

[gezzanet]

Yessir. And the wiper control was a pull knob.

Learnt on a 54 desoto. Had all the goodies. 3 on the tree. Floor switch high beam. Lots of chrome and steel. Even had chrome metal radio knobs.

Have to agree ,I think he meant I remember "when",not "I wish they'd bring back".At least I hope so for all our sakes.
