    Drove into a Ford Dealership in 1993, pouring rain. No one would even come out of the showroom except their oldest salesman with an umbrella. Bought two new Fords from him that day, one for me and one for my wife. Sold my car privately. That's why he was their top salesman.

      Isn’t that something? When watching footage of decades past I always try to put myself in the moment and imagine (re)experiencing an extinct modernity. But whether cars, fashion, electronics, whatever, I can't help but see them as quaint relics. The shiny varnish of newness is gone forever.

      Yeah. But if you watch modern Nascar, you just see modern corporate crap going in a circle. Back in the day the old style cars were so much cooler. Like the Chevy Lumina, while it looks like a box on wheels now it was way cooler than what they use now.

      Because a camera was recording them but overall I get your point. Blame social media and the internet over all. I feel like things changed in late 90s early 2000s… not just a few things but almost everything. Drastic changes and quick… the speed of technological advancements is bizarre. We didn’t have that before. It took decade or more for things to technologically advance in the past but in the 2000s it would be more like a year or two and by then your tech is out of date already.
