    A group remade one of the songs from the best BMX movie ever. I approve.

    Only one of my friends had one. We never actually cut it, but tried our best to just destroy it otherwise.

    Yup! Three positions for the heater control.....windshield, floor, off! I always left mine in the defrost position in case the control cable broke or jammed after the car sat outside in the -40f weather. At least I'd be able to drive it and see out the windshield...........if it started!! :thumbs:

    And nothing but an AM radio!

    Hamm’s is still brewed here and consumed by some on a regular basis. I think it has been continually produced in St. Paul MN since it was first brewed in 1865.

    Our boys call it “the friendly beer.” I guess because it is cheap and easy to share with the buds.

    Remember this?


    This one is a few years before my time:

    I remember watching this one with bear riding with the guy in the open jeep.



    These folks love their Hamm’s!

    I remember the great cologne craze in high school. Hai Karate and Jade East come to mind. I can still picture the Aqua Velva Girl clear as day! Oh the fantasies. Also, anyone remember the pump up water rockets?

    I remember one of the kids just HAD to have this transformer. Was a prized possession. I thought it turned into a fire truck though, but I could be misremembering.
