I can remember 15 cent burgers at McDonalds when it first opened up in my home town. It was great then and good. Now they charge more and it's not good.

But you have the same technology as Captain Kirk and Spock had. And they're from the 23rd century. lol

I have a flip phone too.  It's not smart, but it's still smarter than I am, lol. 

You guys who are old enough to remember those cars/times --I understand your nostalgia.  Those cars were beautiful.   Those times were sweet and simple.  Nothing today compares.   I was born in the early 60s so my memories don't go back that far.

Great pics so thanks for posting! It took me back to a time I can vividly recall since I graduated HS in 1962 . . . . . the cars . . . . the sock hops . . . . the music . . . . . the simplistic sweetness of it all . . . . the innocence as well!!
Great post, thanks again.

I was going to say the same --I have this phone that is smarter than me  

I have one of those smart tvs its smart - It has web and stuff -I don't use it - I should try to figure it out one day --I cant see worth a crap . I can at least see the TV ! 60 inch should be able to see that but then to work it I have to use the remote--and the crap on there is small:lol:
