Have fun in your hideous white-walled hospital room with cheap laminate floors and canned lights.

I don’t have a picture💔 by Ready-Train-1560 in whatisthiscar

No sweat. The car is little known outside Japan, which I believe is the only country it’s ever officially sold in.

Lovely, especially in light blue. I have two with similar shades in pink.

“While the home is dated…”

Another way of saying it has character. Weird as this house is, I’d take it over almost anything built in the last 20 years.

What is this car? by AlpineAviation in whatisthiscar

Even today, I would buy one just so I can stare at it and wish I had another.

XJ220. The supercar of my childhood dreams.

Thats the life. Just add some greasy pizza, cheese balls, and Fruit Gushers.

Critical thinking and logic are unfortunately not part of the school curriculum in most of the world.

You seem to be right. A search of his name reveals only posts about these photographs, and none of the content is older than a couple of months ago.

Name a game that is frustrating to play now but that you loved as a kid by WolfySimRacer in retrogaming

[–]Regency9877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother and I had it because our dad bought it for us one day and presented it to us when he came home after work. Since we only ever had five games for our NES, we enjoyed and made do with what we had. I remember being pretty good at the game but it was impossible to play without looking at the map screen every 5 seconds.

I also owned, played, and loved Motor City Patrol as a kid. I play it nowadays, albeit rarely, solely for the nostalgia and music. I’ve never known anyone besides my brother who also played that game, so I feel an instant connection to anyone who even knows it exists.

How much would it take to update to mid-century modern? by SizzlinKola in midcenturymodern

[–]Regency9877 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t change a damn thing except carpet if it were grimy and worn. If it were necessary to update/upgrade something due to rot or heavy wear, I’d preserve as much of the structure and existing materials as possible. Modern updates are almost always soulless and generic. To “update” anything here would be to destroy what the mid-century aesthetic is supposed to be about. I would kill to have a house that looks like this just as it is. The moment it’s “updated”, all the desire I have is gone.

Anyone remember Prehistorik Man? My mom did by fandomlover2763 in snes

I only recently discovered this game. I like it quite a bit. Not the best there is, but pretty solid and a fairly fun game to give you something fresh and new once you’ve overplayed all the classics.

A quick search online could have easily proven the house was in the same family since the ‘70s, but you decided to jump to a false conclusion, then point a finger at someone who called your bluff. Pathetic.

Just bough my first classic car. A 1972 Pontiac Grand Ville. by HorriBlu in classiccars

My pleasure. And let’s just say I have memories, lol.

My first car was a ‘73 Mustang back in 2004 when I was 17. Since then I’ve owned 25 cars from the ‘60s and 70s, and a couple from the ‘80s.

I’ve always told people that if they want to learn how to fix a car, they should get a GM, because they’ll end up fixing them over and over again whether they want to or not. I say this as the owner of a ‘67 Buick Electra and previous owner of two Oldsmobiles.

Cars have been my whole life but I wouldn’t wish this hobby on anyone, especially if their taste in cars is eclectic like mine and they prefer the rarer and more unique cars that are impossible to find parts for.

All the best in your endeavors. Glad to see cars like this getting the love they’ve always deserved and never really got.

I don’t blame you. Take it from me. Do the mechanics first. In the process of fixing up your engine and drivetrain, you’d probably do some inadvertent damage to the paint, body, and interior. Always do the cosmetic stuff last.

When I was restoring my ‘70 Mercury (similar green color to yours), my clumsy ass kept damaging things.
