MechaBeatsInTrash

The top of a convertible car


ioverated

I used to walk past a car in my college parking lot with a vanity plate that said TOPLESS with a frame that said "I like to go". I kept hoping to see the driver and find out if she was hot until one day it dawned on me that the car was a convertible.

whiskeyjane45

Ahhh back in the days when jeans didn't have spandex Do not miss


ZER0-P0INT-ZER0

Upvote for “Do not miss.” I hate plain denim jeans. I never understood how anyone could find them comfortable, yet they were staple hang around wear for decades.


whiskeyjane45

My ass to waist ratio is pretty big and I'm on the smaller and taller side. It was impossible to find pants that fit. I could pick two, but never three. Now they stretch to fit *and* you can pick your rise and leg style and length. I like the future

Rap is so full of these references that I struggle to think of specific examples.
