My first car was a red 1977 Toyota Corolla Liftback....gifted from my grandfather in 1980. Put over 250K miles on that car. Some good times in that car!

This car is pimp AF. I wish I had one when I was 17. Just look at the size of that rear overhang. Pls confirm you has some red neon lighting underneath.

Still have a home library and many vinyl records. Had a car phone in the 80's. Rotary dial phones started being replaced by push button in the seventies, though. I recall getting a push button one from the phone company in the mid 70's.
I was looking for something in my basement the other day, and found a milk crate full of 78rpm records for a Victrola I used to have. I bought and restored it and it used to sit in my living room, until I lost it in a bad break up with the gal I restored it for.

No, I am not old enough to have bought the Victrola new...

But I do like old things. And some of the records are about as politically incorrect as you can get (not my fault, they came with the Victrola when I bought it, lol).

BTW ... one thing I've learned along the last 10 years is that presbyopia compensate myopia ... now I can work on watch movements without a loupe ;)

When I read this I am happy to have started the watchmaking hobby
I am 50, and it looks like I have quite a few years of fun yet in front of me
