    Speedometers that went all the way to 85 miles per hour.

    Cars/trucks built without computer limited top speeds.

    90s hip hop before every black dude trying to rap could only cuss or talk about guns they don't know how to shoot or homosexual gang activity (seriously, every gang member has engaged in homosexual activity). Seriously it was a fun time. It was all about parties, fighting Mike Tyson, how parents just don't understand, or settling your differences with breakdance competitions.

    As a whole the modern black guy is a grave disappointment.

    I literally brohugged a brother rocking jheri curls last week just because of nostalgia and it wasnt near as awkward as you would think.

    ETA To this day, I still wear some P R E T T Y faded cook white choco chip camo to pay homage to hip hop from 1988-1992. NWA was to hip hop as Nelson was to hair metal.

    There I said it. Come get me, M4C.

    Rock music when it changed from dance music to art in the 1960's.

    I remember those though, probably through actual use/muscle memory, I think I like the "pull the stalk" for that. What I miss is that you pull to both go high and back low. A lot of cars you flick forward and backward now.

    At 41, im not all that old but my first car (c.1995) was a '71 chevelle and every so often my foot still taps the floor looking for those high beams. Best set up ever.

    I have a 30 ft attached garage and a detached 52x60 with lift.
    I have a handful of cars with the floor dimmer.

    I went to a fairly large high school in the early '90's that had about 1,500 students. I don't remember anyone having peanut issues. My son's high school of about 1,000 students has a "no peanut table"....he says it's full!
