My friend Tom works at the Firestone plant in Bloomington, IL. The History Channel did a segment about the enormous mining equipment tires he helps build. Pretty cool stuff.
We interrupt tonight's presentation to bring you the following special report! It doesn't need any more introduction than that. You'll probably have to watch this one twice... once for the dialogue and again to read the news ticker at the bottom of the screen.

This jingle rocks out compared to all the other junk I've posted. This is a generic spot for Pontiac's whole 1987 auto line with the "we build excitement" jingle.
"The Great American Road" jingle! Full-sing, tailored just for the Regal. In my mind, 1987 is when a lot of GM cars started to look more stylized and contemporary and less boxy, and this is a good example. My parents had both an '86 and an '87 Olds and they were very different from each other.
One of many commercials featuring the California Raisins, a group of motown-singing anthropomorphized raisins made out of clay Peter-Gabriel style. If I looked down and saw my raisins walking out of the box and dancing around, I don't think I'd ever eat another one. From 1987.
Each year I do a wrap-up video for the Mid-Illini Jeep Club. This is a bonus feature from the 2006 DVD. That's my Jeep with the club feet at the beginning... a rock bent my tie rod into a V.
After 2 years, Jon's '79 CJ-5 finally moves under its own power. Upgrades too numerous to mention... mainly a new cage and the rear axle has been moved back using springs designed for a Cherokee.
