With UlyssesT out there touching grass, I haven’t seen this thread in a while. What in the past do you NOT miss? It could be very personal or just something everyone experienced but doesn’t anymore.
For me, I am so fucking happy the food scene in burgerland has changed since the 2000s. People seem to enjoy more well-seasoned foods and healthier options seem to outstrip the unhealthy slop I remember in the 2000s. Even my yee-yee ahh Ohio suburb has changed somewhat noticeably to support fresh ingredients. Less WASPslop is always good.
How about y’all?
My vote goes out to the Renault 5 because Sankara ordered all the high-ranking government officials in Burkina Faso to switch their Mercedes limos out for them, given that it was the cheapest new car available in the country at that time.
Growing up, there were all kinds of these Renault <number> models around. They were dead simple, and all of them a bit angular. Cheap to maintain, low consumption, perfect low-key cars.
