Things you miss from when you were younger

Ran across my old pics. You don't see these anymore.

 

I had almost the exact car. My buddy had the GTP, I had the ‘98 GTX with the air rams in silver. I loved that car, I have no clue if I even have pictures of it anymore.

 

My ENERGY!!

 

Nice GP GTP! I had a 1997 GP GT in a dark forest green. I loved that car, and certainly do miss it.

 

My good back

 

Civility. In language, in behavior, in general.

 

Somethings being left to the imagination
Like on screen nudity/
In the 80s the only way to see pics of woman in bra & panties was waiting for the Macy's catalog....today we get grandma's in depends on tv & the like

 

Yeah; knees, back, memory, vision, strength, stamina, definitely!

carburetors that can be rebuilt on the side of the road. Distributor points that you can clean up and adjust. Doing all night what now takes all night to do!

 

I liked the sears catalog the best!

 

The good old days of the 1970s..


Then on to the 1980s..


I miss not being tethered to a phone in my youth.
Now I can't pay a damn bill with out a code every month..

 

My Dad had one of those back in the day.

This is the car he had while I was growing up that I miss:

 

I miss spending time at my grandfathers gas station pumping high test!

 

I feel bad every time I think about almost getting a 65 GTO for 800.00 dollars. I had just turned 16 at the time (1970) and desperately wanted this car. I had the money for the car but insurance was going to be 1200 or so and that put the kibosh on the whole deal. Fracking insurance.

 

OMG I had one of those.
1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, but mine was silver.
A 4-cylinder turbo charged engine, it was like a lawnmower engine in a sedan.
Traded it in after 1 year for a 1988 GMC stepside PU.

 

Knees, back, not needing readers to read...

 

I miss really good concerts at a reasonable price. I was fortunate to see many bands in their prime multiple times. Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Ozzy, Tom Petty, Stones, etc. And it didn't cost an arm and a leg like today's tickets.

 

Good one!! My ticket to my first Van Halen concert cost $8.50!!!

 

I miss the freedom we used to have. So many laws about everything now.

 

my sport bikes from late 80's to early 2000. my 3 brothers and i all rode and loved these things coming off top gun and the kawasaki ninja!







still have a few bikes but no longer any sport bikes.

 

My first bike was a FZR600, looked just like the one in the pic...

 

miss regular family get togethers at grandparents/parents homes. there's that saying, once they're no longer with us the get togethers stop. i have and try to pull everyone together but the motivation from others isn't there so much anymore.

 

Going fishing with my dad.
Today’s his birthday. Lost him in 2011.

 

I miss having the family that I used to have when I was a kid. When we are larger before everyone started passing away or drifting apart. The holidays were a lot less lonely and they felt more important than they do now.

I miss summer vacations with friends. I miss having friends like I used to when I was a kid. I miss a lot, I suppose.

 

I miss the Colorado 4x4 trails that were our stomping grounds during our youth. We used to conquer a new trail almost every weekend and hardly ever see another person along the way. Camping with friends, shooting our guns and having bonfires at the end of the trail and not having to be worried about forest fires.
