I Lived in Mass for 14 years but Im back because of house prices. I remember when Plainfield and Griswold used to duke it out at the Mcdonalds near the dog track. Oh' the good ole days.

Re: Connecticut?
anybody else from around my neck of the woods? all i see around here nowadays are arrogant kids in hondas..im sorry, but im thinkin that the cars nowadays (and the crap music) just sucks. i mean, what the heck happened? when i was in high school, the cool kids had big blocks and metallica and gunsnroses and BLACK SABBATH t shirts!!!!! And remember the def leppard bandannas and roach clip with feathers that was required to be on the rear view mirror? huh? huh? i remember the first thirdgen i saw..it was brand new (probably an 82) and my next door neighbor had it..love at first sight. it was so different looking than anything else out there. he took me for a ride in it..we went to the beach by chick's in west haven..ill never forget that day. and i remember my moms good friend came over one day, with a brand spankin new 86 berlinetta! black on black..the digital dash was sooooo cool...she had just picked it up that day from dworkin chevrolet. then my first iroc z experience..it was at nolan field in ansonia, the guy was playing tennis with his friend it was red and it was soooo beautiful..i was awestruck. i remember the guys friend said "gee the kids really like this car dont they?" lol i ride by there most every day..and think of that car. ive been a camaro fan since wayback. thats what im talkin about..do the kids nowadays see a 2007 honda civic and say oh man! that car is friggin beautiful!!! does it stay with them and will they remember that moment 25 years later? anyway? i dont know where im going with this, but POST UP if you hear what im saying!! i miss being a kid i guess. but the funny thing is all i have to do is pop off my t tops and crank up some DOKKEN...or some DIO... and it takes me right back. to a different time...the 80s.
