You sound exactly like me, OP.
It was shit, but was glorious shit it was

The Chevrolet Celebrity had some awful bodykit package for a year or two. Never seen one IRL.

>I have a really bad fetish for flashy, cheesy, reaganomic-fueled cars from the late 80's

automotive equivalent to scat

worst decade

have one of the few good ones

>>16885177
Nope, the worst decade was the 70s by far, due to emissions bullshit largely.

-BBQ Pinto
-Mustang II
-Chevette
-Early Omnis
-Aspen
-The Pacer (Waynes World be damned)
-VW Thing
-Anything Japanese, it was a rusted hulk by 1983, and that's IF it made it to the decade.

BC?
Cause I'm in southern Ontario and things don't last here long with salt, e-testing and our now newer safety standards which came into effect late year.

70s were great

American cars were just shit

Alberta, i had a 81 Toyota Hilux as well and it was used on a farm here by the last owner. no rust issues, sold it just needing carb work

Ontario is fucked though, i was a mechanic and doing work on Ontario vehicles and east coast everything was rusted to fuck. i remember about 5 years ago we did an OPI inspection on a 4 or 5 year old Mazda 3 from Ontario and had to fail it because the frame already had a rusted rotted out hole in it

>step rails so friends can get in the bed

ah those were the days.


also I have a fetish for futuristic 80's tire hubs.

>>16885258
Yeah, it sucks here.
Those early Mazda 3s really do rust badly though. They have more rust on them at ten years old then I remember old Proteges at the same age having back in the early 2000s. Those 3's were already oozing scabs easily at 6 and 7 years of age.

the graphics make it

Own two 80's car, a 1980 Courier and a 1985 Shitstang. Trucks like the Courier and other mini's and full sizes used to be simple work trucks, now they're huge, have about 12 cupholders, and a mini-flat screen tv.. For me, simple is better
