Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
Well, I'm not sure if this qualifies as vintage but I fondly remember what a treat it was to go to the Dairy Queen and get a JET. Anyone else remember it? Had to be chocolate.- BigFitz

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?
J.W., my opinion is don't watch the LOTR movies. They were well made but I wish I would never have seen them. The books are so much better and now when I read them, the da#n movies pop into my head.- BigFitz

"Planet of the Apes" The first time I watched it as a kid in the '70's, the final scene when Taylor realises where he is and we see the destroyed Statue of Liberty really left...- BigFitz

What was your first car?
1967 Mustang Coupe, 289-2bbl c-4 automatic. I loved that car and wish I never got rid of it. Bought it when I was stationed in Tustin CA. Drove it to the beach and up to Tioga Pass in Yosemite (just shy of 10,000 ft). Drove it from LA to Boston and the only trouble I had was a shot wheel...- BigFitz
