    My ride circa mid 80s. Top gun was out, and I drove past Miramar almost daily.





    Funny thing is 10 years later my first real ride was a vw beetle.

    Also had the toy f14 with the joystick shoved up its ass.

    Christmas day 88 a snake decided to get into the backyard as I played. Shovels can be guiotinnes.

    In my 20's i had the super dissapointing knight rider edition pontiac firebird. It had the swoosh light and said things non stop like buckle up ect.... well past the time you got tired of it.

    Thats actually really cool. Imma just show up at night and steal it. Allegedly.

    Next 'project' we add is probably going to either be a Hummer as a stop gap or we're going to do an improved DAGOR since I have the capabilities to actually make one. Plus it gives me an excuse to get a M2.

    How does it feel to finally come out of the closet?

    The crazy thing is, if he still had that, it would be worth like $800.

    The amount of money that walked away at yard sales in GI Joe and Star Wars toys when I outgrew them is absolutely insane.

    I had literally almost everything GI Joe. The elusive aircraft carrier, that I literally kept bringing up in conversations with my parents and grandparents never showed up. I found out years later than my grandparents sent my mom the $100 (big money back then especially for a toy) one year and my mom was on her way to buy it when she realized that it was 7 feet long. I think the thing that fucked me out of it was the marketing dumb shits literally had a graphic on the box advertising how fucking huge it was.

    I ended up with either the Mobile Command Center or the COBRA Terrordrome that year instead.

    That was right up there as the day when my mom decided that she was going to buy us a Nintendo finally with the money my brother and I had saved and put together for one. This is back when you still had to go to the mall to buy basically anything. The excitement was insane. Finally, a video game at home! So what does she do? Does she hurry to the mall, get the Nintendo and bring it back to 2 kids who are both having nonstop adrenaline fits due to the anticipation and excitement? Oh no.

    Instead, she goes to the mall to then 'look around' for like 5 hours.

    I never had a toy from knight rider lol. I had a 1983 firebird with the nightrider light bar and voice setup lol... probably would be worth a little more than the toy these days.
     
    He doesn't have it anymore.

    It got stolen. Allegedly.

    In other news, Ill post my new GI Joe vehicle picture of this cool fucking jeep we just got.
    F! I have to admit to myself now, I was born a poor white child. I never had no G.I. Joe stuff in my developmental years. No wonder I went into the A.F.! Mac:ROFLMAO::LOL:
