i miss those days so much, before all the emo kids, terrible movies, terrible music, terrible car designs, before national debt and plundering economy, before everyone had cellphones and texting, before Justin Bieber and Twilight Saga... i had an HP pavilion and an emachines, used to play Carmageddon 2 and run people over lol. i LOVED the emachines. miss this logo:







oooh portable CD players! Sega Genesis, Pitfall!

 

E machines always have sucked. Worst...computers...ever.



The 90's sort of sucked.

 

@ the brick cell phones and pagers

 

i can't see how the 90's sucked compared to today. in a decade everything today will be forgotten meanwhile, the 90's and everything that came before it will live on.



1990's We had Ace Ventura:





VS.



2000's Gigli:





1990's Epic Mika Hakinen VS. Michael Schumacher







VS.



2011's Vettel vs. ...Himself:





1990's Epic Tommi Makinen vs. Carlos Sainz vs. Colin McRae:







in Kenya:





VS.



2011's Loeb vs. Himself:



in ...well not in Kenya, or Monte Carlo (the rally that began it all).



1990's Landia Delta HF:





VS.



2000's Lancia Delta:





1990's R.E.M.:





VS.



2011's Rebecca Black:





get the point? i can keep going, with just about everything except for apple.



...what could possibly be said to say the 90's sucked compared to now? with the ease of technology, everyone is sitting behind their phones and computer screens. not to mention, more requirements have been added like for example job requirements requiring you to know certain programs even though it has absolutely nothing to do with your degree and if you don't know them you get booted. the 90's rocked.

 

I could do the same comparison focusing on the crap from the 90's and the best stuff from now. Technology items would be the first thing I pointed out. A current smartphone is more than 10 times more powerful than any PC in those ads from 1996...even the $3k+ machines. My most recent computer cost me $450 to build and it has more than 100 times the processing power that some of those machines had, and 2000 times the storage space. And this is only 15 years later.



How many 300+hp production cars are around now? Quite a few. In the 90's they were very rare. Hell, family sedans routinely make more than 250hp now. Most 90's performance cars didn't even make that.



Even the 80's pwnt the 90's. The 00's were okay for the most part. But I prefer the 10's. I just wish the economy would improve.

 

187 you should be a mathematician/engineer because you are all about numbers. I don't look at the numbers. I look at the experience. I prefer the raw feel of a car rather than having everything handed over and everyone undeserving obtaining the power they never worked for.







whaaa??? i'm not sure about that. 250hp was enough. if someone wanted more, they just boosted. especially with the availability of turbos and custom options from Japan na-ah.

































lol i think the 90's were fine just where they were! besides, so what if you have a 2011 300hp Camaro, what are you going to do with it? you can't even feel anything because it's such a big bulky energy absorber. in the 90's, everything was raw.

 

1986 was the best car year of my life. So much awesome in one year.

 

ahh yeah 1986 we had Group B and the Celica GT-4





and Ghostbusters




we also had Vanna White MANUALLY rotating letters





before K.I.T.T. was replaced by





i prefer everything being good instead of everything sucking with some fancy things scattered here and there to make the sucking tolerable.
