Pepsi Throwback, Real Sugar, Target Stores, 7/2014 Pics by Mike Mozart of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube.
My older cousin Kevin (he got me involved in this whole graphic design thing back in 7th grade) happened to send me this photo a few days ago. At first I could not place where this was taken then i remembered it was on our family trip down to Disney World in the mid 80s. I'm guessing I was 6 or 8? Mom if you are watching can you email me with the year if you know?
Check out that camera! I can't think of the name of the type of film it took; it was the kind that had the two round pieces at the end connected by a little thin flat piece? I'm sure we all had a camera like that when we were kids. Well, the film on this trip is one of the 5 rolls of film i've ever taken that I don't have a clue what happened to. I don't recall ever seeing the prints.
facts about the trip:
• there were about 10 or 12 of us in the white conversion van making the trip from ohio to florida
• I peed in the van during my sleep - i think only my aunt wilma knew (kevin's mom)
• i ate my first fudruckers burger. mmmm
• I bought the sweetest ninja sword ever at the japanese village
• i rode the michael jackson ride
• I was in love with whitney houston at the time. every 5 minutes "i wanna dance with somebody" would come on the radio. Imagine the amount of teasing you get when you are the shy, youngest kid in a van with all of your family.
Yeah.. this was for Lazy Sunday and I was REALLY lazy. I forgot to do much but put it out. It's still discounted for a few days. Main lantern. XD
This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
Summer, Barbie and Teresa
The girls accompany Barbie while she goes out to look for the perfect outfit for her date with Ken.
Barbie === I was thinking something blue with a dash of sparkle.
Teresa === Why not red instead. It signifies confidence and fearless.
Summer === I don't understand why you're disregarding your signature color.
Barbie === Hello Summer, it's our anniversary. I want it to be extra special.
Summer === I don't know Barbie. Pink always saves the day for you.
Teresa === I agree. I think you should go with pink. Add a dash of sparkle to that.
Barbie === Thanks girls. If you both insist then I'll go with pink.
Summer === So where is he taking you?
Teresa === Oh my gosh! Is he taking you to the Cheesecake Factory?
Barbie === Hehe no. He's taking me to this new place in town called "The Bistro."
Teresa === Oooooh fancy.
Summer === Well let's not wait any longer. Your perfect pink outfit awaits!!!

My design was fortunate enough to win the recent "Loves Throwback" competition sponsored in part by Mountain Dew and is now on sale at Threadless. Many thanks to everyone who supported the design, I really appreciate it. :)
This week we are going back twenty-two years to 1991 and KD 126 on O'Connell Street. The bus is operating a service on route 19A to McKee Road. This route started running between Rialto and Ballymun Avenue in 1940. In 1967 it was extended north to Cedarwood Road, and around 1989 was extended west to Bulfin Road in Inchicore. Around 1990 it's northern terminus was moved to McKee Road and by 1996 its southern terminus was pulled back to Kelly's Corner. 2001 saw the route changed to run from Jamestown Road to Limekiln Avenue, and remained as such until 2011 when the route was replaced by new route 9 under Network Direct.
KD 126 was new to CIE in 1982. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s.
The bus is in an all-over ad for the Sunday World newspaper. This paper was first published in March 1973.
This part of O'Connell Street no longer has bus stops, and a number of fast-food restaurants have taken over the premises in the background.
