No problem, I was also the OP of that thread. If you want some good retro pictures, just go on Flickr and put the year tags from 83 to 93 or whatever year you want.

yep, Houston's population is growing almost frantically... almost. More shit drivers, backed up traffic +plus people who rubberneck. It's a total mess. Wasn't as bad back then.

Found some of these on a several forums while back, and most on pintrest. (and some old crappy blogs that were made in the early 2000s)

Is it possible to feel nostalgia for something you never had the chance to experience?

>that Oldsmobile taking up the whole bottom left of the image
There's so many Olds-es in these images, it's nuts. I mean I know the Cutlass was the #1 selling car in the US for like two decades, but still!

That picture taken now would be 9-10 GM SUVs in those places.

And most importantly it's never aesthetic, and neither is the horrid city planning accommodating and enabling it. It should be in anyone's interest to minimize necessary driving. Ideally you'd only have a car recreationally if you like them.
