There was V reboot series about 10 years ago, don't know if it was any good. I remember regularly watching Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, Hunter, Miami Vice, Sledge Hammer!, Police Squad, MacGuyver, A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy, TJ Hooker, Cheers, and Dallas growing up in the 80s. And starting back in the 70s--M*A*S*H*, ChiPs, Dallas and the Rockford Files. During the '88-97 period I didn't watch a lot of TV--was busy w/ college and grad school--but I did enjoy Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and my intellectual guilty pleasure--Beavis and Butthead. I love this montage I found on YouTube of 1980s music, movies and tv set to a popular '80s pop song..

I’ve seen the Stones twice. Saw them in 1989 in Cleveland on the Steel Wheels tour, and in 2005 in Vegas.

I like the new Stones songs...have the album on preorder (I still buy CDs!)... I hope they tour again..had tickets for their 2020 show but it was cancelled and not rescheduled due to COVID..last saw them in Las Vegas in 2005ish. As far as what I've been listening to,I've been listening a lot to Peter Gabriel's new songs from the upcoming album i/o. I really like his new stuff, and of course love his old stuff..been a fan 40+ years. I saw him in concert here on Wednesday night, put on a 3hr show that was an audiovisual extravaganza--11 hits + 11 new songs.

Saw a really clean gold '72-73 Lincoln Continental 2dr in a driveway yesterday afternoon..

I've never been to Long Island (except in JFK airport changing planes when crossing the pond), but my maternal grandmother (who was estranged from my mother) lived in Port Washington, NY on Long Island the last 30 or so years of her life (she passed in 1980). And coincidentally, my family farm was outside of Port Washington, Ohio..

I like the Brosnan movies... I like some of the Craig movies... the last one was weak and way too long, and didn't like the ending...Sceptre seemed a repeat of past formula. Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall are all quite good, IMO. I never really liked Craig in that role, rather taciturn and no wit or bit of humor that past Bond incarnations had. For a modern Bond, I'd rather have seen Clive Owen, maybe James Purefoy or Dougray Scott (a Scotsman like Connery) in the role.. For modern Bond-ish films, I've really liked Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible films (even w/ their BMWs). I liked the first Timothy Dalton Bond movie over the 2nd one. George Lazenby was very wooden as a Bond (his first acting role, he had been a hand model in Australia), but his one outing was a fun movie w/ great Swiss Alps scenery, a gorgeous '69 Cougar convertible and Diana Rigg..I grew up on the Sean Connery and Roger Moore films, so love most of them (though Moonraker was too absurd). As far as CGI, CGI can't make up for a weak story..which seems to happen all too often today. Terminator 2 holds up really well, IMO..it had a good story and great pacing, suspense and cinematography...still remember enjoying in the theatre back in the day. For good recent movies w/ little or no CGI, I watched a drama the other evening I hadn't heard of called 'City of Lies'... Johnny Depp and Laurence Fishburne were excellent, a drama about the aftermath of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur's murders and the LAPD investigation and Death Row records... interesting reality-based story..

And it's just a Kia..not a premium brand...that's a lot to pay for a brand with such a poor image.

Interior looks nice...exterior quite ugly, and white w/ black trim so passe...

^ is that Drew's Toronado? Sharp car. Had a 250 mile round trip down to Zanesville, Ohio yesterday, did see a very clean early 80s Caprice--white 4dr w/ dark blue interior--on I-77.

I've seen one TB SS in the last 6+ years here in NE Ohio...a battered rust bucket, still on the road. Maybe one of a dozen GMT-360s of any trim I've seen in that time period..compared to Explorers and Grand Cherokees of that era of which there are still many on the road..here in NE Ohio where domestics are still pretty common, the GMT-360s seem to have all rusted away.

The concept is definitely an improvement over the overwrought grilles.. not sure about the lighting..maybe quad round lights paired with the smaller grille would be better..

Yeah, he's been gone over a year..I miss his posts..I guess we scared him off.

I loathe parallel parking and generally avoid it because of my astigmatism (hard to judge how far from the curb), but at my old house when I had to park on the street I'd occasionally rub the rim against the curb. Not at issue w/ my new house--driveway is so huge I could probably park 20 cars in it and no curbs in sight...

Yes...beep beep proximity sensors have taken their place.

I miss the variety of body styles and models that were available in the 80s-90s. All sorts of 2drs, convertibles, wagons, full size cars…I remember wandering around dealerships 30-40 years ago clearly…

I'm thinking I should get something like a Generac installed generator. I have a gas powered portable that I can run my refrigerator off of.

There is nothing like that... just a list of 3 options: Header says 'SEND AS' with 3 choices: Automatic PDF Web Archive I'll just stick to visiting the site on my laptop or tablet. With all the ads it's pretty much unusable on a phone.

Ok, I see that. I tried it. I get a menu with 3 options. Save as archive, pdf, or web archive. No ‘add to homescreen’ or anything like that.

I've tried the instructions a couple of times, and can't find it. There is no 'share icon' at the bottom of the screen as referred to in the instructions. One thing I have noticed lately on my iPhone in Safari that even when I'm logged into the site it's covered in ads...

It is sharp looking..the funky C-pillar trim has grown on me.

They could have done an Acadia and an Acadia XL like they do with the Yukon. (I'd like to see someone use the 'Big' and 'Bigger' naming).

I get the appeal of CUVs compared to sedans, though. I prefer sedans and SUVs, but a CUV is low to the ground like a sedan, higher H-point so they are easy to get in and out of, more headroom, more cargo room than a sedan without the stigma of a minivan or heft of an SUV.. for example, comparing my sister's Equinox to a simiarly priced Malibu, it's more practical for her use case...easy to get in and out of, easy to drive around town, room to pack up 3 months worth of stuff when snowbirding in the winter. I don't want a CUV, but I understand why the general public like them--they are very practical vehicles.

Happy Birthday @A Horse With No Name

I like those also. I have a fondness for so many cars from the 80s.

I kinda want an '80s IROC-Z w/ t-tops to go w/ my 5.0..
