Talking to another CL member today made me think about how time flies. As we head into the holidays, it also means another has gone and a few more businesses have closed their doors.

Just like how it felt like yesterday since my 2002 GS was brand new. How about we take some time and reminisce about the good ole days. What do YOU remember about your youth? Just curious to see how different the times are and the different generations of members here.

I'll start:
Arakawas
GEM
Holiday Mart
Gibson's
Castle Park
Z Cavariccis
Cilly's
Members Only

What places or things do YOU remember from the good old days?

I remember this time of year back in Florida there would be random gatherings of cars in downtown Orlando. A few nights the mall parking lot would get filled completely with some 300 or more cars.. Everything from Titan Motorsports Supras to random lowriders lol.

Kei Office coilovers were baller stuffs
Solid aluminum motor mounts
OSS crew and the pink mario stars on our back window
Hondas with poke fitment ( not classy even back then haha )

When I was young, I was really into mini 4WD. I've owned about 20 different models all tuned differently. I even had 3 lane circuit course at home! Omega Yo-Yo was huge, too. I've had a little brief case with sponge inner to house them inside. Pokemon (not the gold, platinum or whatever colors they have now.) The original Red, Green, and Blue. While in high school, Honda Civic was the "it" car. Intake and exhaust added about 500 imaginary hp and if one could do an e-brake turn, he was the man. Razor racing was the place to be seen and was the go to place for those Nokya HID look a like blue headlight bubls.

Ah, good times.
