My Dad had a 1990 Sedan DeVille (not this exact car, but similar). Still very much felt like a car from the 70s though.

Lots of fun to ride around in!

I was given a used computer with Me.

I wasn’t doing any real work on it as a kid, so it was just a really quirky 98 experience. It never crashed before I upgraded to XP.

I never had 8, but 8.1 came on my new laptop in undergrad. I never used the tiles, but it was really solid in my experience.

I don’t think a manual EV would be an appealing option in any vehicle.

BUT, every malaise era disco barge would be great with an EV conversion.

Hopefully on Me, Vista, or 8 levels of bad so they push out a whole new version 😬

95 was on my fathers work laptop and on our first family computer in 1996.

It was the OS that taught me to use a computer.

Plus it had the Packard Bell Navigator program in all its 90s skeuomorph glory.

That’s unfortunate 11 is a bloated mess.

I’ve actually never used it. But everyone tells me so lol.

Again, probably bc I rarely used 10. I’m also the only freak who really liked 8.1 once they brought back the standard Home Screen.

I’m way more nostalgic for 95 over 98, but I know the latter (especially SE) was a better OS.

I’ve been a Mac user for nearly all of Windows 10s existence, so I never really got to use it.

Still, I wouldn’t even put it in a top 5 list of Windows versions.

I don’t mind chrome on the grille, running boards, and wheels of pickups. But chrome bumpers just feel like an old man aesthetic.

It’ll be interesting if it disappeared all together as an option.

A merger between Frontier and Spirit would’ve been more equitable. JB and the former is too east coast heavy.

How I wish someone made these in 3 rail O gauge. Especially the Amtrak tour livery.

80s/90s euro high speed trains live rent free in my head.

Stainless steel.
Wedge shaped.
Electric.

But this one can fit more that 4 and has a range over 300 miles.

People always talk about the Chessie Systems Furry affiliation. GN is clearly a more developed character.

I add “holiday cargos” to regular trains. I prefer the look and it’s way cheaper.

I did pick up a Christmas boxcar with my birth year for cheap though.

That’s bold of them to still tour when the one recognizable member, the lead singer, died.

Every Lionel train is solid gold to Boomers.

It kills them when you try to explain the market isn’t what it was in the 90s/00s.

The Capone angle is hilarious though.

There’s lots to love about HO! For one, nearly every prototype has been modeled. Not to mention space savings.

Do what brings you joy!

One of the most underrated Fords of the 90s.

The 1st gen Taurus SHO exemplified how they were exiting the Malaise era.
