Life was so motherfucking good in the 70's and 80's.
Cruising was fun as shit. Nobody worried about getting shot. Cops would make you pour your beer out and go home.
Then of course, you'd go back out in somebody's else's car.

Makes me think of cruising Riverside (#509) in 1977, listening to Rumors and Steve Miller…PurpleThrobber said:Life was so motherfucking good in the 70's and 80's.

American Graffiti was the flick that started that entire genre though.alumni94 said:YellowSnow said:

And it had cooler cars. Other than @BennyBeaver 's truck, Wooderson's Chevelle and that one GTO, the Dazed and Confused cars can't compete the American Graffiti. 1976 was a terrible year for cars. Just fucking terrible. -
Cruised Riverside in 77/78 a lot - mostly in my buddy's '70 Camaro SS/RS 396. Fun times.Fishpo31 said:

American makers needed more time to get their economy cars in there and the Japanese and Germans took advantage
The muscle car market collapsed and you could pick them up cheap. Worth a small fortune today

When I was a kid my dad had a cousin who owned a 1976 El Dorado with a 500 CU power plant. In 1970 that engine had 400 HP. By 1976 it had 190 HP.RaceBannon said:

I always thought Baze was talking about the plane crashing in this gif but he's actually talking about the downfall of American muscle cars.
