I fell asleep in Algebra I my freshman year of high school

back in 92 and woke up with this song stuck in my head.
It’s been one of my favorites ever since. It’s got to be the synthesizer run during the bridge that gets me.

Never seen that before, and it was great!!!

I hated this song the first time I heard back in the day

and nothing has changed up until today. Perhaps I will learn to appreciate it as I get older, but the first 25 years of getting older hasn’t quite made me appreciate it yet.

Ugh….and the video matches how I feel about the song.

first time I do a link on here, hope it works

Whoaaa - "In Stereo"

By the way, that’s a later beginning of the show. Kitt’s original voice used to be just a red button that lit up in the dashboard and then they changed it into that set of three lines of blinky lights. Not really relevant.

No googling – anyone know who did the voice (or know what 80s show he was on?)

I always thought she was super hot...

of course, nothing ever happened to her career after the show, except she got a dui. Probably if she released a sex tape, BAM, instant career revival.

Sweet merciful Christ

Bot Metts World? Well, according to IMDB it was 1993, so that takes it out of the 80s and into when I was drunk college sophmore, so no wonder I never saw it.

I used to love watching Knight Rider reruns

Along with Airwolf and The A-Team When I was about 10-11. I kinda grew up on those three shows, actually.

I always thought the Hoff was pretty lame, but I was drawn in by the car – and by the first (and third) season mechanic, Bonnie.

Also, the A-Team’s season 5 theme was supremely cool (too bad the show itself kinda died out with that season, though).

Man, I loved me some testarossa. I had a poster of a white testarossa. I still stop and look when I see a Ferarri (which happens a lot more than ever since there’s a dealer near by )

I’ve come to realize my dream to own a ferarri just wont happen, so i’ve lowered that dream to owning a porsche
