The greatest United States President of my lifetime was first inaugurated in 1981.

 

Somewhere along the line someone thought it would be cool to put 2 P51s together to make an F82.

 

First NES sold in 1983:



Oh and my reply to past number 80:

 

First year of the C4

 

BEARS Win the superbowl 1985!

 

Legendery Swedish race car driver Erik Berger. Still winning races at the age of 85.


Edit: Too late! Can we pretend he just turned 86?

MOD NOTE: THIS POST WAS ALMOST 86ed.

 

STUUUUUKAAA!!!

 

DA BEARS!

1988 The very first transatlantic fiber optic cable was laid, TAT-8. Costed over 300 million USD, and retired in 2002.

 

Obligatory, 1st miatas started rolling off the line in 1989.

 

 

Two events, an international a$$ kicking and the birth of my oldest daughter...

 

1992 Wolfenstein 3d came out

 

IMO '93 best band of all time started Jammin'. At The Drive In.

 

1994 - ROTT came out and I shut down my BBS, "Dazed & Confused" (not because of ROTT, because I started another one). Below is an ad that we used to run in the newsgroups to show people what we had. As I read through it the interesting bits were the MASSIVE 50 megs of email (real internet email!) and new files that we got each day. Doom was the big game back then and we had one of the largest doom libraries in the country. I don't see any adult files on the CD Roms in there. We may have taken them off at that point - I can't remember. There was a lot of legal stuff surrounding the adult stuff back then. Most of it was copy written and used without permission and we got a little scared about it. I can remember that at one time we only allowed access to the adult stuff if we met you in person and you brought a copy of your ID for us to keep.

I had forgotten that ROTT was actually the sequel to Castle Wolfenstein (which I first played on my C64). Hmm, remember the controversy that they could not sell Wolfenstein in Germany (pics of a swastika in the game).

A small online company was also started in 95 (why didn't I buy any stock in this):

 

It begins:

 

 

STO - The last 1500 NA-bodied Miatas

(current example is somewhat modified from original specs...)

 

Screw it! Since no one wants to play I will break the order and finish up with this...

 

99?

 

This one is worth more:




Not fast:


Another shitty Audi:


This definitely belongs in our forum:


100 Million dollars doesn't look like much:


Austin Healey 100:




F-100 or F-100?
