I just think the classic one's look way cooler than the modern one's...even the barn find one's. They look real, down to business. The modern one's look like "toy" muscle cars.

I haven't touched the 70's yet. TV was still free for most of that decade and when the prime time number one show was Laverne and Shirley, you just have to wonder, what is wrong with everyone.

Listen, when I saw, Here Comes Baby BooBoo become a hit, I almost started taking sides with the radical Muslims.

We fought Chinese soldiers in the Korean war to a standstill so they figured they could do it again in Viet Nam. A war of attrition. It worked. I should out of honor mention it was the Marines that got it done in Korea.

....... duknow.....[/QUOTE]If I was a witness to a hit and run by today's mid-size sedans, I wouldn't for the the life of me be able to tell the cops the model of car.
Yet I can watch a 1963 movie and ID every car down to year, make, and model.

Agreed, but then you had LBJ, who doubled down on it, and took the all the money from social security's locked box and dumped it into the general fund! (So all the leaches could suck it dry), to fund his "Great society" movement...or was it to fund HIS Vietnam war... OOPS...Did I say that outloud..

In my opinion this country went to hell when Kennedy was shot, And yes L.B.J. was a bastard of a president. Vietnam was a war we never should have gotten involved in. Seems like every president since has been messed up in some way. It is a shame when you have to vote for the candidate who will hurt you the least instead of doing the country the best.

I think most will agree there will never be another time period like "the sixties", be it good or bad; and it seems like there was just as much bad as there was good during that era.

You've led a sheltered life. I'd take the string bikini over a mini skirt any day. Invisible string bikini, even better.

Never got to grow up in the 60s, obviously. Hell, even my parents didn't really get much out of the sixties, they were in grade school when they ended. But I sometimes envy those that did get to live then.
Atleast I can afford to buy cars from the 60s though

now if nixon had beat kennedy? would he have escalated vietnam? maybe he'd have nuked 'em! would the world have been a better place if MLK had not been assasinated? i have my own answer to this question, but i'm going for rationality here. would it have been?

I have read that Eisenhower warned Kennedy about Viet Nam and said not to go near it. I don't think Nixon would have escalated the war as Johnson did, but I may be wrong.
MLK? I think things might have gone better. His "non violence" approach was respected by many.
