CRX Si was the biggest rust bucket. My brother had one and I couldn't even lift the car up with a jack w/o going through the floor. But yeah the motor and trans were VG.

Miata available stateside July 1989.

Trucks all sucked. Ranger's and S-10's were starting to pop up everywhere, and they were pieces of shit. Full size too... beds would rust out within 2 winters up here. Although my 84 escort wagon would just go, and go, and go... it could even out off-road most 4x4's

Rangers and BroncoII - The 2.9 was flawed but They weren't complete garbage.
Loved my BroncoII.

S-10's (lil ones)...I hated them.

Yeah they sucked even into the 90's. I had a 92 that would chew up u joints like pez.

Broncos were butt-fucking ugly compared to the Blazer. The Blazer was one of the first trucks that got people into thinking that a truck could be pimp. That and the 4.0 Cherokee Limited with gold wheels.

I'm going to come out and dismiss your opinion since you were not really "around" during the time and are basing your opinion off of the current environment peppered with San Diego silliness.

I will give it to you that the 2dr Blazer had decent lines.

No doubt there were some Super shit cars in the last several years.

Watching Sesame Street and GI Joe? Yes.
As I child you were around.

Uh, no.......I was finishing up high school.
I would think the name Homeslice would be a dead giveaway, since that word pretty much faded out after the late 80's.
