I love the Thirdgen, but so glad the 80's are over.

Every generation has their favorite decade, but i think the 80's were the funnest for me. You could buy 60's and 70's muscle cars cheap, and the girls were fun too! I bought my first IROC in 85.

So glad I'm young enough my memories of pop culture don't start until about 1994 lol.

Did that have something to do with the Footlocker shoe retailer as a promo or something? They are like shoe selling, Cavalier promoting, wanna be break dancing, ninja turtles lol.

I liked the 80's. Lotta hair, that's for sure. Great memories. I'd go back a week or two also!
