General tires.
I used to associate them with being the super cheap skins that you buy for your chevy celebrity to get by one more year.
The last couple sets of Exclaims I've bought were really a damn good tire, besides being at the bottom half of the price scale.
with a nod to ebonyandivory: my marriage.
China
Music (from the standpoint that everything from 1992 has been downhill, but now there is some good stuff if you know where to look)
Public Radio (but that's probably because I'm old)
internet speeds
Katy Perry (because she's single now)
EFI.
New Fords.
Any kind of computer upgrades. (Who remembers playing the DIP switch/IRQ shuffle, and trying to manually force drivers to work with all manner of arcane settings?)

I'm on the third set of General Grabber UHP for SWMBO's Highlander. Excellent light truck/SUV tire with no drawbacks, and cheap.
I already had the Michelins in the cart at Tire Rack when I started doing the research. Better tire for at least a third less.

Terrestrial Radio? Heresy! Anyone with a cell phone and data plan surely has Pandora by now. Right?
Parents, your own specifically. I thought mine sucked pretty hard, now that I have kids I realize they were pretty good.
Cheap-ish motorcycle helmets (anything not made by Shoei or Arai).
Cheap-ish performance tires like Kumho, Hancook and the like.
The rust resistance of newer cars.

Some of the newer Chrysler products. Had a 2005 Magnum RT. Pretty good car. Next got a 2011 Ram 1500. Great truck. Now I have a 2012 Wrangler Sport. Pentastar and 6 speed. New interior. I'm impressed. I never thought I'd like a Chrysler product enough to own one haha. They are definitely improving over time.
