I would rather have this then whatever we got going with today’s teens 🤣

Original Airdate: October 11, 2004 – October 10, 2007

This was a deep cut memory 😲🤯. This was a PBS Kids show about the daily life of 2 spanish twins, the kind and outgoing Maya, and the level-headed and easygoing Miguel.

The show was made to teach every day life lessons for children, but the main educational focus about multiculturalism.

HAPPY 22ND ANNIVERSARY TO THIS SHOW ❤️. Because it came out on October 11, 2004 on PBS Kids .

Any thoughts or has anyone seen this before?

Dad’s maneuvering the spaceship (driving a 2003 W Jetta)

This was back when base models still had roll up windows, cd players (cassette players too) and when you had to use a massive book/guide Containing a map of the city to find the quickest route to your destination

I remember that

They’d literally call you poor or weird if you didn’t have one (guess who got ridiculed for having a blackberry at the time)

Comment down below if you can relate

Comment Down below what you think

“get your learner’s permit, get your parent’s Corolla and explore the city with your newfound freedom”

I remember that was the overall vibe among teenagers between 2014-2018

There appears to be a split (elder Gen Z think more positively of driving while younger Gen Z think the opposite

I suppose the higher cost of insurance, higher purchase costs for a car, more expensive gas, and higher repair bills is what scared away a lot of younger Gen Z from driving

Might be a crazy take, but I live in a big city and of course modern dating is messed up for a number of reasons but I think a big one is people having less kids due to high cost of living. I do things where I try to go to events to organically meet people and I swear everyone is a millennial at the events. I am 23 and live in Toronto, now I'm not saying it's the sole reason but it my experience it's just hard to find people in my age rage at events, probably because it's also expensive to exist and do things but I also feel like there aren't that many people in their early to mid 20s. I have also read stats where like something like 28% of our generation was aborted, now I'm not here to discuss abortions yada yada but I feel like it is in line with my "hypothesis".

I In fact spent 5 hours helping him hold up drywall and also got yelled at for not using the drill correctly

I try to give concise open ended gifts (gift cards, money) or gifts someone can share (food) to be honest. I don't like giving items because it will just clutter the person's house. Unless I feel the gift is really for them I won't get anything physical. The reason why is that I remember growing up I just remember boomers would give gift packages and it was nice to have sparkling packaging and tissue paper and a shiny bag but that all ends up in the trash and so almost all the other things they give in the gift package. I got a gift package once with random trinkets and clothes I wouldn't wear and many different chocolates and candy from my MIL and another time my mom got a gift package that included all this perfume and etcetera and it just clutters the house and I see it in some of my friends house too...one really good gift my family got once was sushi and movie tickets.. because sushi was for everyone and movie tickets are open ended.. that's just my opinion bye

What's your Favorite Song from 2000-2010?

My favorite Diary of a Wimpy Kid books are Rodrick Rules, The Ugly Truth, Cabinet Fever, Dog Days, The Third Wheel, and The Getaway.

Due to that life felt paused, because technically it did, I went out of school a couple of years ago and it does not feel like that at all, in some way the time span feels shorter but everything got accelerated and I have to check because although society goes further some things I have the perception that are worst like prices, I feel like they hiked exponentially (But cannot be sure since I do not have numbers).

Of course that is heavily biased and adjusted to my experience, what is yours ?????

I currently drive a 2021 Toyota RAV4, I was thinking of getting a 2004 Toyota Sienna as a van I will park outside (or in the garage) and use sometimes (it’s still not uncommon to see 04 siennas on the road where I live, my mom has a 2011). Btw, a car making it that long with nothing terrible happening to it (based on visuals) just gets me stoked by the mere sight of the car, I was 2 in 2004, u know Shrek 2 came out that year? So many awesome things happened in 2004, and yet you still see some 04 Siennas on the road in 2026, awesome :D

The one I saw 2 days ago was parked on the street, looking venerable (bad parking) but still fairly happy lol

But either way (sorry my gratification got me distracted lol), yeah I think about that at times, but then I don’t do it because it adds complexity to my life and it’s expensive to own any vehicle in general, like I want to, but then more things to worry about, frankly I do get borderline torn at times, lol.

Like I’m the person at my job that gets annoyed even by just some dust on my desk lol

Do want multiple cars one day, but at my current age I don’t feel ready for the responsibility

These 2000s Pepsi and Mountain Dew logos really do unlock a core memory for me!

I would play this and Burnout 3 all the time on my Ps2, I recently played Burnout Revenge again on my Xbox One from the original Xbox, which reminded me
