Add another to the tally of kids born during the heyday of disco music, excessive sideburns and burnt-orange shag rugs. Yaaaaaaay '78! (that’s five of us now… take that, 1979! Nyah!) ---

[QUOTE=Astroboy14] 1966. Get off my lawn! [/QUOTE] I was born in 1966 also, but you all are welcome to come play on my lawn. Especially sometime in June when I host the next Jersey DopeFest. I note: \*\*Diogenes the Cynic \*\* & \*\*TroubleAgain \*\* are also 66’ers. The year Star Trek went on the air a few days before my birth. ---

April, 1955 in St. Louis, Mo. A great year, arguably the start of the golden age of American automotive excessiveness: the first year of the tri-Chevy’s, the first year of Virgil Exner’s Forward Look styling across the board at Chrysler, and new designs at Ford, too. The beginning of the finned era, which would soon grow amazingly by 1959-1960. Ah yes, chrome ruled my boyhood! ---
