anyone here that grew up in the 80's remember when iroc-z28 camaros were all the rage in the mid to late 80's? i was a teenager then and them and corvettes were like THE car to have back then.anyway right after september 11th,2001 about six months later was when the economy really got bad.i had some money saved up and i saw where an older gentleman had this car for sale that had been in his garage for years and i had some money saved.the day afterwards the man had the car sitting there displayed outside.i remember me and three other people kept driving by in our cars looking.i finally asked the old guy if i could buy it.he replied whoever has the money first.no way was i letting those three other people buy this car.i already had the money there with me.anyway this thing was my dream car from the 80's and i actually bought it almost new because it had barely been driven'.below is an idea of what the car looked like.i had two kids and in 2005 had to get rid of it and get a minivan.

Yep, those were great looking cars.

No one is using ageism against him as far as him expressing his opinions, but rather him trying to teach us how to deal with nostalgia. For someone who didnt LIVE the 80s and isnt old enough to understand what nostalgia means, he has NO clue what we are talking about. Even if he reads up on it and learn all about the great things of 80s and watches the movies and listens to the music, he did NOT EXPERIENCE it,,, he has no memories connected to every little thing from the 80s.

We all learn from other people, older or younger,,, but I dont think any of us would really wanna learn from from someone ,about something that WE lived and they didnt.

Oh and one more thing. Reel it in as your bait attempt failed

I never told anyone what to do or try to teach anyone. Now, I don't really know what nostalgia is (stupid ass bike accident when I was younger kicked out most of my memory) - but what I said was that it's never too late to do something. Jim could still go out and buy a 80's sports car or go chasing girls or whatever. It's never too late for that - that's what I said (not teach).

Now, for the love of every god out there: give it a rest. And stop talking about my family.

You are quite wrong, grasshopper. I am always very aware that there is a wider audience than one.

I dont think his wife would like it very much to see him chasing girls in a sports car

Grasshopper is not name calling. It is not an insult. It is a state of mind and place.

Being a grasshopper is a state of mind? i guess it depends on what "state" that mind is in.

One of my faves! I dig entertainment that teaches. Lending insight by an artists rendition in a painting, drawing, sculpture....in plays, movies, writings...in music too, in lyrics. All good stuff!

Well I thought calling him a grasshopper meant that you are old and he is a young Where does state of mind come into it?

It's not really about a calender age. A state of mind and place....where they are at in their thinking....where they are at in their learning.

And you think he needs to learn from you? You think that he cant know enough because of his age and thinking and that you know more than him? Hmmm sounds like ageism
