@@josuemartinez4828 Nah, cars from the 50s until the mid 2000s had something special and unique to them. Even if you don't personally find them visually appealing there was at least variety. You could actually tell them apart. Nowadays they all pretty much look the same, very little things to distinguish one from another, unimaginative and boring. The 90s really brought us some unique and beautiful cars that you didn't have to be rich to afford. Over the past 20 years they slowly morphed into pretty much looking all the same. SUVs are annoyingly everywhere as well and look like boxes on wheels. Theres a few nice vehicle's out there today but i don't see them becoming classics like the ones from past decades.

But life was not as difficult as it is nowadays, things are not running better than in those years, or will you say that everything came back to be the same it was when you could see a real "Golden State"? I don't think so, and that's what I'm talking about. Just a little more, and California would look like a third world place. And here I am including almost everything, other kind of problems and not only crime levels that of course were the worst in CA's history.

Depends on where it comes from. I happen to think that 1980s American music is terrible, and that 1970s classic rock is the best music there is. However, speaking for today, the greatest music seems to come out of westernized Middle Eastern countries (like Lebanon and Syria). They actually put time, effort, soul, and traditional instruments into their pop. One of my favorite songs is an Arabic song from 1998. If I were to listen to American music from 1998, I'd puke outta my ears.

[@mjwbulich]

You're romanticizing it a bit much. You were a kid but everyone else was paying bills and commuting. Terrorism wasn't a thing here but we did live in constant fear of a nuclear holocaust. Gas hasn't kept pace with inflation so it's actually cheaper now. Not sure what you mean by smell of freedom but the smog in LA during this time was horrendous and it smelled horrible. Cars,especially domestic ones, were complete pieces of crap compared to modern cars. The music was better back then.

[@JakeBor]

@@mjwbulich Cars were complete pieces of crap!? You're insane.

[@mjwbulich]

@@JakeBor insane how? Most cars were still carbureted. Fuel injection was spotty. Gas mileage sucked. Reliability was poor. Most domestic cars were more trouble than they were worth after a 100K miles. Modern cars with computers are far more reliable and last much longer. This is not even debatable. It's a fact. If you are arguing aesthetics then that a matter of personal preference.

[@winterlynn9012]

@@mjwbulich Meh.. this may be anecdotal but I remember our cars lasting back then. I was barely five when the 80s ended but my family had an 81 Cadillac Cimarron from late 1980 till 1994 and the thing was only in the shop 3 times and for minor things meanwhile it gained a ton of mileage since my mother's job required her to drive all day, everyday from one end of long island to the other which she did for 14 years with that Cadillac. Other family and friends had similar experiences. Same with the vehicles we owned in the 90s. I'm still driving my 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse because despite its age and numerous beatings it took during my teen years it's still going strong. I owned a few vehicles that were made after 2010 and there was constantly something going wrong and I seemingly got one lemon after another despite buying completely different vehicles from 2015-2018. My 23 year old Eclipse is more reliable than the various post 2010 vehicles i bought since I thought after having a child I would need something more reliable. I recently just had a discussion about this with someone who is at least 20 years my senior who works on cars and he agreed when I said that old cliche "They don't make them like they use to " expression. Sure safety features and other things have been improved in the last 30 years but I can't begin to remember how many issues I've seen with the computers in cars and how they seem built to last a shorter time than in prior decades. I was thrilled when my husband got a 2016 Chevy equinox in October 2019 and am now weary since it's been in the shop 4 times already and even after they put in a brand new engine in December it's been back 3 more times for various other issues.Disappointing because i adore it and know my Eclipse won't last forever (then again i wouldn't be surprised if it did) But all jokes aside I'd say maybe it's just i that have bad luck with cars but it's not just me whose had problems and noticed that the newer cars seem built similar to smartphones. Built to last maybe a few short years before they want you to upgrade to the latest model.
