This sort of scenario

I miss going to the various car dealers with my parents
every year to see the new models and design changes,
unlike today where they all look the same and all come in
grey ,black or white

+1 I'm in my 7th decade, there was anticipation every year to see the new cars, I remember them being in the show room covered

up until the release date. It was a big deal, there would be refreshments , and I would grab the sales brochures, and spec out the

cars as I would like them, of course the most powerful engines and a 4 speed, or fully optioned with all the luxury stuff.

I still have those brochures with my notes 

I'm with you that they all look the same now, back in the day you could tell a car at night by the tail lights, and some times  the

headlights.

What Honker said! 

I did the same thing, back in the day.  Auto shows with my dad.  Bringing home every car brochure, even of the cars I didn't particularly like.

Then, spending the weekend pouring over all of the specs, committing them to memory. Scribing the new data into my three-ring binder to compare everything. Writing pretend road test comparisons between the muscle cars.

Then, cutting the pages apart and thumb-tacking the phots across quite literally every inch of the walls in my room.  Separated by make and model.

That was me, from ages 9-16.

My god, that was great.
