      The movie that made the tequila song famous.

      1985 - birth year of the Amiga too. Re: Pee-Wee, I like Big Top better. =P

      scary stuff. good film.

      That's a cool film -- from back when movies didn't need explosions every 3 minutes to be successful.

      I remember the first time I used the 'net sometime in mid 1992. Before that, though, I was using Compuserve in 1989

      Time to dial-up to the information superhighway!

      I think I was aware of it in '95 or '96...I knew there was "something" when I was in college...Has it really been around since 1989?????

  4. The nor'easter is in full swing. But one thing I hate the most is strong winds/wind gust. I have my car parked in a numbered private lot in my apartment complex. The car is parked next to a tree that's really big and old Everytime we have major storms like this one, I move my car out and park it onto the city streets. Why? Because I fear that it will fall onto my car and destroy it. So far, the tree never fell. But I rather not take the chance.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Smart not to take the chance.

      Atarian7

      Yes, I hate the wind too. That's all we got here. We didn't get any snow or rain.

      @jd_1138. I thought about that. But It's a royal pain to file a claim and too long to collect for it when they will pay pennies on the dollar. So a few minutes of my time won't do any harm to move the car. Sorry about your wife's friend.

  5. Whoa!! This afternoon after having lunch, I saw a Chevy Spectrum. Man, talk about a car I haven't seen in years.

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I've been seeing various cars that haven't been seen since the late '80s-early '90s.

    2. Rick Dangerous

      That things the reason they sold so many Honda's and Toyotas back then.

      Did you chase that Chevy Spectrum? I enjoy a good Chevy chase.

  7. Anybody remember the Isuzu VehiCROSS? I was watching a video of it on YouTube and as strange as it was. I always wanted to buy one in H.S..

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I remember that as well. Isuzu still exists, but is now owned by Toyota. Hell, I consider the Isuzu Piazza/Impulse to be one underrated car despite its flaws.

    2. thanatos

      Never recall ever seeing that one. Kinda reminds me of a Pontiac Aztek

      Odd that Allan Sherman played the Cat In The Hat in the 70s Chuck Jones feature, seeing as the Cat is tall and skinny and Allan was short and fat.

  10. Is watching the 1961 film, The Hustler.

      Not bad. Kind of similar in ways to RISING SUN.

      Westworld '73 was one underrated film, and one of my personal Horror favorite.

      Great movie. Yul Brynner is brilliant as "The Gunslinger." I've been meaning to check out the sequel, Futureworld, but I'm not sure how it would compare.

  13. Here's something interesting. Saw a Sterling 825 sedan this morning. I haven't seen one of those in years!

      Rovers short foray into the US market. Always nice to see some car people on AA :)

      My buddy had a Rover sports car when I was in college, until it needed a new transmission which of course costs more than a whole new (used) car...

    3. SlidellMan

      I remember those.

  14. China is building a laser 10 trillion times more intense than the Sun that could tear space apart. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/02/01/china-is-building-laser-10-trillion-times-more-intense-than-sun-that-could-tear-space-apart.html

      Keyword is "could". Will it? I think that's still several orders of magnitude too weak to damage the spacetime fabric.

    2. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      I dunno. That bus/train thingy they made before didn't go so well.

    3. Franko ATARI

      Franko ATARI

      It's all bravado and d!ck-wagging at this point. The media is always showing us the latest and greatest way for us to destroy ourselves. I remember the Hullabaloo about the CERN project - yet we haven't created a black hole to suck the Earth into yet....sure it happened to alternative timelines, but this Franko ATARI is fat and happy here on a version of Earth...

  16. A car that I would like to buy next is a Ford Tempo. My grandparents had a 1991 Tempo GL. They really liked it and had it for 15 years with over 200,000 miles on it..

    1. fdurso224

      fdurso224

      @Albert. Hahaha. I can see Albert won't be getting the Tempo anytime soon. Possibly its twin the Mercury Topaz in the future? 8^)

    2. Albert

      The only current Ford I'd be interested in is the Focus RS.

      @Albert. Ah, a superb choice. I like the Focus Albert.
