god there is absolutely no excuse why cars were ever designed to be that ugly

it has nothing to do with the time period or anything..

we have thousands of years of absolutely beautiful art, yet no discretion was used whatsoever in the design/look of all these cars from the 80s and 90s..

likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I mean what

it's not cheaper to produce an uglier-looking piece of shit car

what's the excuse

7/21/2016 1:26:03 AM

only good-looking one was synapse's

and I'm assuming that's a 70s or before?

IDC much about cars but come onnnnnn

have some taste, 80s and 90s popular relatively affordable car designers :33333

7/21/2016 1:47:12 AM

LOL

"hey I've got an idea! why don't we make 80s and 90s cars look as dated as possible - that'll be a swell idea!!!"

----people that made those cars :33333

7/21/2016 3:17:27 AM

Agreed even the luxury cars were ugly in the 80s. I mean Mercedes, bmw, etc all looked like pieces of shit. Mustangs were terrible. Thenot you get to the fire birds and camaros lol

7/21/2016 3:54:04 AM

Mercedes were passable, some of 'em

in fact my first car was a '85 mercedes - kinda cute but yeeeah they coulda done better :3


the Delorean or w/e was p-hot tho - who made that?

7/21/2016 3:55:07 AM

They didn't have cameras back then.

I drew a picture though. It looked like this

7/21/2016 5:58:07 AM

7/21/2016 7:12:31 AM

very similar to this

[Edited on July 21, 2016 at 8:05 AM. Reason : constant 3" layer of mud on the bottom]

7/21/2016 8:04:45 AM

Except in white. Paid $50 for it and it blew up after a few weeks haha

7/21/2016 8:19:46 AM

Same color and everything.

7/21/2016 8:36:18 AM

Spent most of my "college fund" on it because I was on scholarship

7/21/2016 8:38:35 AM

Your college fund was obviously a community college fund.

7/21/2016 8:41:48 AM

Well yeah. We weren't rich or anything. You dick.

7/21/2016 8:42:17 AM

Don't have any personal pictures. This thing was a beast. The door could take out person when it swung open. Used this throughout high school and was pretty reliable, except it had problem going up hills towards the end.

7/21/2016 8:42:56 AM

For real, no actual pictures of my first car. The car I bought with my brother back in high school looked like this:



91 Jeep Cherokee Laredo - the paint was all faded on the hood, which was apparently a problem with that color that year.

I know all about being rich, having bought that sweet 96 camry at 19 from my grandmother who had recently lost her license.

1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

7/21/2016 9:25:09 AM

^^Had a 1990 Cherokee Laredo, black and silver with some chrome on the bumpers.

Loved that car.

7/21/2016 10:19:11 AM

7/21/2016 10:41:22 AM

1991 Chevy S10 Blazer 4X4 - Except it was that awful carolina blue and had chrome on the bottom. It also had a 4X4 decal down the side. I only had it for about a year.

7/21/2016 11:06:22 AM

1st car I drove? OG Hyundai Excel



1st car I bought? last year the Alfa romeo Spider was imported

EMCE doin' the Lord's work in this thread.

I looked for like two minutes for the old beater Batmobile with a wooden spoiler that used to park on Brent Road. No joy.

There, I gave you a hint.

Well for one thing, angular style was "in" in the 80s. Second, government regulations dictated a lot of the styling, due to things like 5 mph bumpers and sealed beam headlights (i.e. those rectangular glass headlights were mandatory, for everyone).

85 blazing horsepower!

Being "in" doesn't mean it isn't godawful. The 80s/early 90s designs are almost universally wretched.

7/21/2016 3:05:24 PM

looked like this

7/21/2016 3:39:25 PM

not the actual one, but same color, same year




'82 Plymouth Reliant

7/21/2016 4:41:14 PM

It wasn't my first car, but it was the first that I paid for and the picture of the oldest car I've owned. I will be getting another of these one day and pimp it out.

'79 Cadillac de'Ville

7/21/2016 7:13:50 PM

Very similar to this. 1982 Mazda 626. Same age as me.
It had plenty of cigarette burns from my grandpa and smelled of old cigarette smoke.

7/21/2016 8:51:43 PM

2000 cougar

1980 Datsun truck.
Somewhere on this planet that motor is still running. If it ran out of gas the leaky rings would allow oil blow-by and just diesel combust long as you kept it hot enough. (long enough to get you a mile or two anyway)
I miss it dearly.
You could start it with a pocket knife. Locked myself out once and just kicked it till worn out striker just gave up the ghost and let me in.
Great truck

7/22/2016 8:57:25 PM

Car I drove in high school (it died during freshman year of college):



Then I paid for this one myself at some point during freshman year of college:


(Neither pic is my actual car).

That Saturn kept kicking for 12 years and it never actually died, just traded it in for a newer car in 2013.

7/22/2016 10:59:06 PM

Aerostars are beasts. That's what i learned how to drive in.

7/22/2016 11:08:19 PM

1995 Pontiac Bonneville. It was a fantastic first car.

7/22/2016 11:20:55 PM

Kensington Park, baby!

I still miss this vehicle, but I think I'd get tired of it quickly if I had it back. No AC, constantly needed work, manual everything, horrible gas mileage, and no functional defog.
