Male PMS and the Return of the El Camino:

Ok, I think Courtney was right when I talked to her the other night: I think I am going through some form of male PMS. The past couple of days I have had a very negative outlook on life and it seems like everything has been going on and wrong. For example, in the past week, I’ve had two fillings, I have a few nasty blisters on my foot, I haven’t been sleeping well, I leave in a week, I am totally not packed, I still haven’t gotten to my seminar work, and I’m supposed to be in New Jersey this weekend!

Who knows. What I do know is that I’ve been seeing alot hybrids of vehicles involving a mix of a truck and some other car. Do you remember the El Camino? That nasty looking car/truck from the 80s - mid 90s? I swear, next to the Camaro, it was the battle wagon of the mullet-baring generation. And now, I’ve seen a multitude of vehicles among the new fleet of vehicles from the forgotten gene pool of the El Camino.

As seen in clothing, trends from the past have come back for a while. For example: Bell bottoms. A style straight out of the seventies made its return in the late 90s to present. Now that we are seeing the return of the El Camino, something straight from the 80s, will we also see other things come back? Will the mullet be returned to a seat of full flowing glory? Will speed metal and hair bands take the stage for an encore?
