Cool Shizzle for Old Guys Like Me

[Repo Man]

As a child of the 1980's I can remember all of the *****in' movies out of that era. This link is about the kickass '67 Camaro in "Better Off Dead" and what has happened to it since.

http://www.betteroffdeadcamaro...right

Unfortunately, there is no word on the current status of the French foreign exchange student. Any knowledge of this would be great.

repo :ylsuper

That's awesome! Definately one of my top 10 movies of all time... as a matter of fact I watched it last night. Funny how that works, isn't it?

I always wondered what happened to that Camaro... and the French foreign exchange student too Was she in any other movies?

[Toms240420]

a child of the 80's is now considered an old guy, dam.........damn

[Rockenreno]

I'm only 20, that's not old is it?

[Toms240420]

[Cold_Zero]

I want my two dollars. Two dollars!

Gee Ricky, I am sorry that your mom blew up.

[Former_240_s14]

Great post, priceless!

[KoukiS14]

That is awesome.It's cool because it parallels the movie. . the car didn't run. . and it was fixed up and ran again. . then he took on the ricers

[Mr1der]

damnit! Bud beat me to the obligatory two dollars mark...

I can't remember any other qoutes:( I vaguely remember booger (I can't remember the character he played by name, or his real name...) talking about not being an idiot and being in high school for 7 years though...

Is it strange that I have absolutely no idea what you children are blithering about?

oh yeah, i was born in the 80s too. Thank god I am too young to remember.

Nah the 80s were actually cool. . being born in 1978 is something I'm proud of. . because my earliest memory was of 1980, and disco was over. . the 70s were cool in some regards, but mostly scare the bejeezus outta me.

80s were weird but cool. . Goonies > *

[Mr1der]

80's cars other than looks kinda sucked at times though, both in performance and reliability...

well, mainly domestic, but the BMW's were all messed up in the electrical department like a good deal of other makes I suppose

Trust me people, I was born in '71...there was nothing cool about the 70's. You would understand if your mother had ever dressed you in double-stich denim, and the other horrid fashions of the time.

Oh no, I have no regrets about missing out on the 70's.I thank my parents all the time for waiting a few years.

Yeah, that movie grew on me too. I didn't care for it when it came out, but I always find myself watching it whenever it's on tv and enjoying it.

I remember when the french babe was complaining with a heavy french accent that the dorky guy she was staying with kept touching her with his "testicles" And John Cusack calmly replied that she meant "tenticles". Lotsa funny stuff in that movie.

i gotta rent that one day

[Rockenreno]

"That's a shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that!"

hehehe

[Mr1der]

damnit! I was beaten to that quote too...

I did however enjoy the book on "How to pick up easy women"

[krazy skwerel]

Better off dead well I must chime in here. The asians were great, many a time I have thought of putting a loud speaker system on a car. :batman

I had some pretty nasty clothes when I was little my parents aren't quick to take on the new fashion. . so uhm. . I was stuck with mid - late 70s stuff until about 1981 or 82 lol. . . I still have some of my old stuff layin around. .

"That's a shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that!"

hehehe

[KoukiS14]

chunk freind.

[Mr1der]

throwing away of the white boy was indeed better off dead from when he tried to kill himself by jumping off the overpass only to land in a garbage truck...

You know what else is cool about the 80's? The chicks with big hair and tight Jordache jeans. OH YEAH!!! :ylsuper

Cars got very cool in late 1985 when the Buick Grand National laid waste to everyone in the performance department.

[Mr1der]

GN indeed, rare example of a domestic 80's car that didn't suck in the performance area.

most of the turbo cars really weren't that bad though. Some stuff was just buggy with computers and what not.

or in the case of GM and Ford, really heavy doors that require new hinges to fix in most cases (my car included:()

Amen, brother. Also remember that the 240sx was introduced to the US in the 1989.

[APEXi240]

Turbo Z31...awesome addition to the 80s.

I miss the 80s.

[cls12vg30]

I was born in '76..so I don't remember much of the '70s....and what I do remember I wasn't in the US....Dad was stationed in Spain till mid-'79 or so.80's cars RULE. Mostly the Japanese ones are what really float my boat. (That's why I drive one). Now the car I almost bought before I got my '88 200SX, that was even more '80s, it was an '84 200SX, the last year to carry a Datsun badge, had a trick Knight-Rider-ish digital dash, with a tachometer made up of a row of LED's, and it had a voice module. Total '80s.
