Yep, I was only talking to my brother (@mrbonkers dad) about Smokey and the Bandit. He said it's on his list for the lad. My brother is working to give the kid the same sort of upbringing to the one we had and it's paying dividends with the lad.

One of the old 69 Chargers? Or a newer version?

A 1969 Dodge Charger, same as the General Lee man, such an iconic and beautiful car. I really wish I'd bought it although I loved my F Truck as well.

I'm pretty sure the Atari 2600 was the first gaming console and it went nuts from there. My first computer was an Amiga 500 (512 KB of of ram). Bonkers huh? It's incredible how far things have come and I think some of it is well in the wrong direction. Just my opinion.

Ha, nice! Spent a summer driving a '78 Firebird (unfortunately not a Trans Am) and everybody wanted to talk about either that movie or their brother/cousin/uncle that had one like it.

I love those old pony cars, there's just something about that combination of simplicity, elegance, and raw horsepower. Lol, on the flip side, you are conspicuous driving one these days.

Ah, the good old days of booting from a floppy disk. It's wild to think how far both cars and computers have come since then. I'm with you on that though, not all change has been for the better. Remember when you could actually buy software?

We're showing our ages (although I'm more advanced in that regard than you) but I think they were better times, less complicated more connected (with those around us who mattered) and I think happier. I miss the old days.

A Firebird huh? I've never driven one but there's a few here, mostly in collections and they come out at shows and for car runs. It's amazing what we have here but they're not daily drivers these days. The roads are full of passionless, ugly, electronic devices with wheels. Clearly I'm not a fan.

The old floppy disc, not words I've said or thought for a long time! And yeah, there used to be walls of software and now... subscriptions. We're such dumbasses to pay for something that's not even ours. But...it's the future and it's going to glorious (for some) and don't argue, just keep paying.
