The Blue Board

This. The 50's seemed like a very fun decade. Didn't even have to lock your front door at night and people actually could trust each other.

Those 70's roadsters were badass come on now.

1969 Z-28 400 HP

1977 Z-28 160 HP

Not so badass. I got my license in '69 and the '70s were my car youth and we all drove pre '71 cars because of the horsepower and because styling started going south with the 5 mph bumpers. Even the styling on customs and Hot Rods went down hill in the '70s.

This is purely my opinion but I'd wager it's shared by most car guys.

The OP said he'd want to live within a 100 year range and the responses are all limiting themselves to like a decade ..

The 20's is the decade I would most want to live in .. but as for "eras" .. I'll take 2100+

Since you're from the era I'll take your word for it. I was born in 1979. I started driving in the mid 90's.

People would smell like shit. The only way they would smell slightly less awful is if you were filthy rich and could bathe a couple of times a week and use cologne/perfume. Even then, it would smell awful. Think "Sex Panther".

Harry, you must not know who my peeps were.

1940s to 60s - people smelled pre 1920..I don't want to deal with that

Born in the late 50s-early 60s.

60s - tv was coming around but kids still played outside all the time. Football/basketball/baseball were were on the upswing in terms of talent/excitement. Modern music began to take shape. Seems like a good time to be a kid.

70s - best era for music. Aside from computers/the internet we had plenty of modern technology to keep my occupied. I would have been the pac-man master. Laws/rules were not as strictly enforced. Great time to be a teenager.

80s - Terrible music, but everyone was so fvcked up that they didnt notice. Non-stop partying during college/early adult life.

90s - The internet. I would be old enough to have some cash in pocket and jump in on the internet business craze. Make tons of money and enjoy modern luxuries.

00s - 40 is the 30. Probably would be divorced and banging plenty of fine young broads. Still young enough to fully embrace life.

10s - Eventhough I am starting to age, modern medicine is keeping me feeling at least as good as I did the decade before. At this point I still am very active and healthy. Not something many 50 somethings could say in generations past.

20s+ - Praying that we find ways to extend the human life cycle to live comfortably past 100.

Yeah, I wasn't saying anything wrong with the OP I thought it was funny that people were limiting themselves to one decade when for instance if they want the 60s they could say 1940-2040 and still get them in there.
