Twitter appears to be everywhere these days and it seems, from a social media standpoint, that Twitter is the way to let everyone know what is going on with you right now. Twitter has an a huge Hollywood and Television star following and it would appear that everyone wants to get on board and share the magic. Having said that, do you remember spinner rims? Those car wheels that always appeared to be in motion even when the car itself is not?

For a short period of time, it seemed like every other car on the road had either a set of these wheels or the hub cap equivalent. If that doesn’t ring a bell, how about hydraulic dump beds on mini trucks, just for show? Admittedly, that may date a few of us, but there was a time when I thought that a dump bed on a mini truck seemed like a great style accessory. Many of my fellow mini truck enthusiasts added these styling cues to their own personal mini-trucks.  The big question is “Where is this style now?” There will always be die-hard’s who hold onto something long after the wave of popularity has passed, for a number of reasons. This can be Nostalgia, circumstance or many simply didn’t get the memo?
