The 210 was Datsun's answer to the Corolla

Funny you should mention the pinto...


Compared to the Pinto-Mustang, that datsun is one sexy beast!

Did you put slicks on it Mark?

He put an oil slick in his driveway wid it.

Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine. Makes me think of waterskiing at sunrise on the Colorado River...

There are so many. I'd either have to keep coming back to this thread as I keep remembering them or just give up now. However, One big turning point for me, in that I instantly learned to love hard rock and "the sound of electric guitars", was when I was only 7 and my Uncle bought me Kiss, "Destroyer" for Christmas. Like most adults, he hated them but he knew all the kids were into the whole makeup, demon & blood thing.

It began with that realy low volume background noise of a guy leaving his kitchen and getting in his car and you could barely hear the car radio. I remembered thinking that the album must be somehow broken and 'of course' I kept turning it up to see if what I was hearing was supposed to be that way. Then the Real guitar kicks in with a simple but low volume - building to VERY loud and very dramatic opening riff. It nearly knocked me off my feet and to this day, if the song comes on unexpectedly on the radio, I get chills and smile.

I had Destroyer, but I don't remember that...

Maybe there were different version but that is definately how "Detroit Rock City" began. I swallowed my pride and bought it as a CD a bunch of years ago. It still starts the same.

I've bought some CDs of music I liked when I was a teen. I may not like it as much as I did, but they're often cheap and it's fun to hear some of this stuff that I haven't heard in .... ahem... 35 years or so!
