My point is made. I can leave for my trip now comfortable in the knowledge that ya'll get it.

The fact that people, although probably a good bit younger than I, look back at a decade and identify the "cool" car(s) as a mid-size GM sedan with a hair dryer tacked on to the intake side is indicative that cars, indeed, SUCKED in the '80's. And most of the '70's. And a good bit of the '90's as well.

Best things that can be done with a Regal/Cutlass/Malibu/What the hell DID Pontiac call their version of the mid-size nightmare is exactly what Darkside's siblings are doing with them (arguably "art") or where we see 'em at the local round-n-round pounding each other out of existence.
