YouTube - Married with children

Brilliant! Great find Al! That's a whole other thread; TV shows from the 90's. Married With Children is right up there with the classics. I have to admit, I was a huge Beverly Hills 90210 fan. I remember when it was on Monday nights when I was in college. I would watch it with the girls in their apartment and then sprint over to the bar for the start of Monday Night Football with the guys.

I remember paying $0.84 a gallon at a Gulf station in 1998 down the Jersey Shore where my good friend lived. I remember it because it was the cheapest I've ever seen and I was filling my then new 98 Altima SE.

The debut of the C5 Vette
Mitsubishi Eclipse turbo
Toyota Supra
Nissan 300Z Twin Turbo
Mustang 5.0 (the notchback was awesome)

Amen! I had three SHOs. Great mid 6 second to 60 cars and low 15's in the quarter with mid 90's trap speeds. And I loved all those cars you listed. I've got a soft spot for fast four doors. Maybe with the addition of the Audi S6. Some of the other great fun cars were the RX-7 twin turbo, 3000 VR-4/Dodge Stealth RT Turbo, E36 M3, Volvo T5-R. I'm sure I could go on.

Was in college from 91-96...yep squeezed that four year degree into five years. Great years.

Heck, the new Maximas, Accords and Camrys will blow many of those old Q-ships away. But that'll happen after 10-15 years.

Certain some great fun cars out there now too. It's just that so many of them are fat pigs. Getting harder to find those cars that just hover around 3200-3300 lbs.

I also loved Star Trek Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Can't forget about Saved by the Bell. I loved Kelly who later appeared on 90210. I remember the Simpsons on the Tracey Ullman Show.

And don't forget Beavis and Butthead I'm *still* telling people "settle *down*, Beavis!"

Spilchy- IIRC the model in the Cherry Pie video is named Bobbie Brown...can't quite remember who the girl in Wicked Game is (gee, I *am* getting old ).

A few more memories:

Red Dog beer
The "Ice" beer craze
The debut of King of the Hill and Southpark
Beverly Hills 90210

That would be the viral Christmas episode that floated around the internet.
I remember my girlfriend's brother at the time was a Computer Science major in Madison and had showed it to me, as well as this wonderful file sharing network that could let me have any song I ever wanted.

The 90's were not so fun for me. Got divorced and lost both my parents (dad in '92 and mom is '99).

Oh yeah, I'm feelin' ya. ST:NG FTW. Never quite got in to DS9. Just watched a few of the latter epic space battle episodes.

Can't wait for the new Abrams helmed ST movie to come out. Kinda they pushed the release date back from Christmas to next summer.

Spilchy- Ah yes...remembered it as soon as I saw her name

In the '90s I was single and could go out to the bars every night if I wanted! The grunge music was cool too.

Got that right! I've learned a lot at this site over the last couple years.
