I miss real professional football, not the almost-flag-football BS that they now show on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays... in London...

cars from the early 2000s. its gone down hill from there. everything is way heavier now (thanks to safety standards and people getting fat). smaller engines with turbos and automatic transmissions.

carrera gt is still peak supercar for me. i'd take one over a laferrari, 918 spyder, etc.

I think BMW peaked in 2001. E38, E39, etc.

I miss my 2013 X6 M. It was a beast. Just raw power and none of this tech nonsense.

I also miss my youth. I swear it was yesterday I was 25. Time goes by in the blink of an eye. Before you know it, you look in the mirror and see an old lady or man staring back at you.

I've wondered how so many of them would adapt to the new culture these days. Richard Pryor being PC? Can't see it.

My Dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at age 55. I've been missing him for 41 years now.

I’d like to think that the old timers would have some balls and continue doing their thing and not cave but they’d get canceled by the sensitive.
