hot wheels, man.

a few months ago i realized that i had been telling everyone that my little brother was 14 when really not only was he 15, he would soon be 16. so he is 16 now and has a driver's license, and looky here at his new ride.it's a 1986 celica. yeah, that's a toyota (name that movie). i particularly love the pop-up headlights and the authentic rims!

i just can't believe that my tiny kid brother is driving. let's see...here's some births/deaths of the year i started driving:

y2k freakout. napster. gw bid for the presidency. the ibook. lance armstrong's tour de france winning streak. the matrix. pokemon. ricky martin. who wants to be a millionaire? blair witch project. "baby one more time." shel silverstein dies. jfk jr dies. columbine massacre. backstreet boys "millennium" sets first-week sales record of the 90s. "genie in a bottle." the new radicals break up. geri halliwell's post-spice efforts. faith hill's "breathe" video...she kept the dress. blue da ba dee da ba dah. mandy moore's "candy" video...loved that green vw. no, i don't want no scrub. shania twain takes an official pro stance on guy liner with her "man! i feel like a woman" video.
