Subject: Dream car of the 80s
Regardless of how young/old you were in the 80s, I'm sure you had a dream car. What car did you always want? I always wanted a Fiero - especially after my dad test drove one and let me go with him.

Yeah, that and a Delorean! I would have even settled for the base one that doesn't travel in time and weighs too much.

I still must go with the '65 Mustang convertible. I'm hopelessly in love with those cars, and nothing else will catch my eye like on of those.

My favorite car during the 80's was the corvette, didn't even matter which year I Liked them all. Im suprized that people Haven't responded with BMW, weren't they all the rage back then?
Subject: Re: Dream car of the 80s
Lets see... I was only 10 in 89 so my dream cars would be Honda CRX, Honda Civic Hatchack, Plymouth Laser, and Dodge Daytona. Also add an 88 or 89 Honda Accord for the time period of the 80's. Those popout lights were pretty cool in the late 80's. BMW's weren't that good in the 80's. BMW is pretty darn popular now though. Never liked BMW's. I always liked Japanese Cars. Thats what I liked back than and even own an Acura now. The Laser and Daytona Mitsubishi probably helped Chysler with anyway.

I just wanted my dad's car, which was a beautiful midnight blue 1950 Buick. It would have been mine, but he had to sell it. :(
Subject: Re: Dream car of the 80s
In the very early 80's I deamed about driving a Buick Grand National (Twin Turbo). In the late 80's I wanted a Supra. Needless to say I didnt get either one.

My dream car during the 80s would have been a late-model Jaguar. I just loved the sleek look of the Jaguar and the great hood ornament... :)

C'mon guys, didn't we all fancy the Lamborghini Countach during this decade?
At least i did, and many of my classmates had posters of Countach's in their rooms!
I, myself, have always liked the BMW 6-series.
