Foosball was fun. It's a lot more fun if you get really good at it. Neighbor has a million dollar tournament table and actually won tournaments. Me, I was meh at best.

Had a 455 HP Trans Am in my late 20s for about a year. It was fast as hell but broke down all the time. It was a good thing I had mechanics as friends but the maintenance just got to be too much. Had some fun in that bad boy though.

Once on the track with them I knew no matter how much I rode I would never be that fast.

similar bike progression for me growing up, with a 60's Bridgestone thrown in that we had to use a chair to get on and off to ride... The step up to the 2 stroke bike was a rush...

My older brother had a version of this his Senior year in '80... I thought I was a king riding to school with him as a junior higher...

"Excuse me maam, is this the same mindcraft mob you were complaining about last week?"

Yea, that happened.

You missed the entire point. Adults have been complaining about kids since they both existed.

I remember a lot of Camaro's. Some of those would be worth a bunch today. Chevelle's, I had a couple friends with those that were nice. There were lots of pickups. I lived for my motorcycle for the most part back then. That killer van I talked about earlier was frequently available as he had another vehicle so I never put much money in another car. I had a Grand Am at 14 and drove it a lot as I had a drivers license for school and work. Parents didn't know I had it as I parked it around the corner from my house and drove it whenever. Felt like I was the coolest 14 year old in town. Hell I even had a VW thing for a little while.

My first new dirt bike was a 1982 YZ 125. I still think about that thing from time to time.

I honestly have no idea...

Had an account here for a long time, but I rarely logged in, lurking for years, until I started this "new" account. I'm still not much of a poster, and additionally, I've never played any of the games, so I don't know why I have negative casino cash.

You really can't leave anything unattended around here. It'll disappear.
