The New Supra Owner....(depressing)

[Bonkers]

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly
change things. Each year the staff at Delmar International Raceway in Delaware puts together a list to try to give the employees a sense of the mindset
of this year's incoming Supra Owners.

Here's this year's list:

The people who are in dire need of a supra this spring across the nation were
born in 1983:
- they are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up
- their lifetime has always included AIDS
- bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic
- the CD was introduced the year they were born
- USSR and Cold War mean nothing to them
- they have always had an answering machine
- they have always had cable and UHF means nothing to them
- they cannot fathom not having a remote control
- the beginning of 1st grade was filled with talk of some wall in Germany falling down
- Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show
- popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave
- they were prepubescent when the gulf war took place
- Microsoft has always owned the world
- Regan was shot? they wouldn't know, nor would they know he almost died from it
- cordless phones have been around forever
- they never took a swim and thought about Jaws
- they couldn't identify a Datsun if their life depended on it
- they probably never seen a John Candy film in a theater
- they can't imagine what hard contact lenses are
- the titanic was found? They never knew it was ever lost
- they don't know who Mork was or where he was from
- they never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a
Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane"
- they don't care who shot J.R.& have no idea who J.R. even is
- Michael Jackson has always been white
- McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers
- they don't have a clue how to use a typewriter and few have ever actually seen one

(if you know of anything I missed email me and I'll add it to the list)

Gawd that's funny.

Lucky new Supra owners. As I go through that list I realize it's probably a much better world now (except for AIDS and Michael Jackson being white) without a lot of those things ... Like the Soviet Union, Mork and Fantasy Island. Good riddance to bad rubbish

A new needle for the record player?
Eight track tapes

One lonely, blown, cracked speaker in the middle of the dash, full volume, cranking out 8 and a half watts of pure rock and roll.

I have to go take a nap now.

I was born in '76 and I feel old! You know it's bad when you REMEMBER the year in which people you hang out with were born. I REMEMBER 1983! I was in the 3rd grade...

This thread is depressing

[Ulysses]

Let's see....in 1983 you were 21. That would make you.........

I'll never tell!

[GR8_ASP]

Geez. 1983. Year I graduated from UofM (that's Minnesota to you Michigan types). Pleasant memories but new cars in 1983 were DOGS! Thank goodness we are living in the good ole days.

Hmmmm, I can remember being sent home from school when Kennedy died. That would be JOHN Kennedy.

Also, how about the Cuban Missle Crisis? Any youngsters know about that?

[Mike Brunton]

Ok, maybe I can make you guys feel a little worse

My first memory of "wartime" was the Falklands islands... I was asking my parents what was going on. I was about 13 or 14 when the Gulf war was going on. I graduated high school in '94, and turned 21 in '97. I DO remember having a black-and-white TV, and one that had no remote control. I do remember records as they were being phased out for tapes. I don't remember 8-tracks. The earliest president I remember was Reagan. I had no concept of working in a recession until this latest one. I never knew what it was like NOT to have a cell phone in the car. The USSR collapsed before I was old enough to really understand what the cold war was even all about. The only thing I know about Vietnam was that some of my friends Dad's were there. There was a war in Korea? I don't remember when new cars DIDN'T have keyless entry.

Ok, I feel a little better now
