1980's Headphones

I was watching The Terminator today. I simply have to have the walkman and headphones that Ginger uses:



I went through several hundred pairs of these headphones as a kid, but it seems they're out of production now. I don't even care if there's a loss in fidelity of sound once I look like I'm actually from 1985. It's simply the best design ever: foam, metal band, bad sound quality etc. All incredibly impractical but a worthy trade for the coolest look ever. Now all I have to do is tape all my mp3's onto cassette.

I also want a pair of Gargoyles sunglasses. No better way for a cybernetic organism to enhance his look before he goes about his daily business of alphabetised systematic execution of individuals from the phonebook:

Brutal Cars Are Amazing

Bad cars are class. The boxier and more impractical they are the better. Bad cars are like an under produced musical opus amidst many other shining diamonds. They're often overlooked, which is unfortunate. White is also a great colour for a wreck of a car. Here are a few of my favorite and memorable bad cars. Also it's no coincidence that nearly all of them come from the 80's.

Nissan Bluebird:

Opel Kadett:

Ford Orion:

Fiat Uno:

Reliant Robin (modified General Lee style):


Here's a few sites dedicated to bad 80's cars:

The great thing about enjoying bad cars is that they are completely attainable and for the price of a new mid range family car, you could have all of the above cars. You'd probably have more than enough change left over to go through the drive through of your choice also.

Your life may be significantly more in danger but you'll look cool and weird driving around in a different car for each day of the working week. -Like a more adult version of socks with the days of the week written on them. For added entertainment value you could try sellotaping them all together and still try to operate them in unison on the weekends.
