Born in early 83, so just about 27, on the 30th
I remember watching some of those shows lol. I remember gettin a brand new cassette player! I remember the Challenger explosion, watched it live! I remember old cartoons, Grape Ape, Huckleberry hound, etc, they played that stuff when i was young too. I find myself downloading music from before i was born which is odd. I look at things past and see early 80's race cars and cloths, haircuts.....Good lord..... I know some of you fellas would still call me a youngster but i feel my age everyday too!
A rolling stone may gather no moss, but it surely aquires arthritis, back problems, and poor circulation......and other things of that nature:rofl:

Was also born in 77:baby:... Memories: Fat Albert, Mr. Rogers, Romper Room, Record player with two speeds & the Chipmunk's X-mas record playing twice as fast, HUGE Black and white Tv with rabbit ears & two dials (no remote), surround sound consisted of two 5' tall towers, with a single high, mid, & low in each.
I bet some of you "OLD FARTS" can top that pretty easy

Same here. I was in my math class in 5th or 6th grade. Can't remember which. Born in 75' here.
I was walking down the hallway at Rockwell International, the prime contractor for the shuttle, when they announced it. That place was like walking through a morgue the rest of the day. You'd think people would be talking about, but everyone looked like they had the wind kicked out of them. All of us had worked on it, there were pictures everywhere; most of us had pictures of it on our rollaways. We were all very proud of the Shuttle program, and we considered Rockwell as the killer elite of the aerospace industry. At the time, there was no thought whatsoever that one of them would ever crash. There were grown men with tears in their eyes. "Unbelievable" is used alot, but in this case we waited to wake up from a bad dream, or hear the announcement over the PA that the report was wrong. It never came...

whats the average age of a duramax owner.....well what i meant is we should have a poll to see what age group most duramax owners fall into. i mostly see old(senior status) people driving these trucks but on the forums there is lots of younger people. just a thought

I was 4 in 77. I remember playing pong and thinking it was the best thing ever. I also remember wanting a Vic 20 and then A comodore 64, I never got one though. I remember a show called Falcon Crest, I think that was the name and it competed against Dynasty and Dallas. I will never forget the Space Shuttle or 911. You guys remember Hammy the Hamster? I let my kids watch it on You Tube they think it's really funny.
I was born in 82'. When I joined the ARMY I would hear the older guys telling stories about the first gulf war. I would tell them I was only 10 when that was going on:rofl: Alot of the guys had been in the ARMY longer than I'd been alive.
What makes me feel like time is flying by is when I see the sign's at gas station and any other place that sell's tobacco. "you can't purchase any tobacco products if born before 19XX". That makes me feel like i'm getting old
