What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

Looks like the one Ray Liotta drove on 'Goodfellas.'

Sorry, could be 1978.
It's similar to this shade, which is Cedar Firemist.

Great condition.
I need to stop, but then what if it's something I can afford?
I'd break my own rule of not bringing things home other than groceries.
Oh and estate sale items. :D
Today when I drove by though, there wasn't a for sale sign on it.
Hmmm.

Mom calls it the 'Midlife Crisismobile'

In case you haven't noticed, I have a thing for cars from 20 or more years ago.

A Miata?! Now THAT is a chick car. Only thing worse is anything VW. :p

A metal Wagoneer? I think I may have heard of that before---twenty years ago. :p

Nice catch on that Tom.
It's a different shade than Ray's car, but maybe I best stay away.
I don't want helicopters following me all afternoon.
Midlife crisis? I'm in that age range, but I can't buy it. No room, even though I do need a third car.

I've always wanted one just like his. Very sharp color combo.

I thought about it for your lot, but can't figure out (if he still has it for sale) how to work out the deal.
It would probably cost more to ship the car via transport, than the car is worth.
Then again, you DO have a dealers license.
I ASSUME...it's a Southern car, but I can't be for sure, as this family moved into that house a few years ago.
It's a somewhat high dollar area right by a major hospital.
Could be a doctor.

Or a mobster. :p

I don't have my dealer's license yet.

The word "curated."

People who pay for every petty purchase with a $20 bill.

Chipotle.

Nostalgia for the '90s.

Playoff Beards.

The word "mom" unless you're talking to your own mother.

The "brony" movement.

People who claim to have "Aspergers" or "celiac disease" when they have never actually been diagnosed with such.

Swiffers.

The phrase "haters gonna hate."

E-cigarettes.

Fashion water bottles.

People who think standing quietly on a corner holding up a sign is going to make a damn bit of difference in the world.

Buskers who play absurd instruments.

The word "murse."
