I agree with all. With the exception of the turbo Buicks, the Mustang GT and the late 80's turbo Trans Am the cars were generally crap. But, the decade was a whole lot of fun (of what I remember).

I graduated high school in 81, college in 85 and ordered my first new car - an IROC in February of 1987.
With Apatite for Destruction playing on the Kenwood pullout I was living large.

Once the fuel crises hit driving the Radical Big Block Camaro as a daily driver was a bad idea so that was put in the garage and I brought my 77 TA with leaky T-Tops, Then I went through a bunch of different musclecars cause you could buy them all day long for 500-$1000. Then I found a Loaded White 80 T-top Z28 and I enjoyed the hell out of driving it. It wasn't a race car it was just a daily driver and that I enjoyed driving. Then I went out one morning and it was gone.. I found this one about 9 months ago and I had to have it, I dig driving it with the AC on and the T-Tops off. I was thinking about doing a LS swap but the car is so original I feel bad about doing it.. Frank thats a nice GN.. I had a GNX for a while and what a blast that was to drive.

I had a new 84 trans am with the H.O. engine. What a joke. The 86 GN was a good car with bad paint. I got mine used with a few miles on it and it had already been repainted. I later traded it off and the guy that bought it blew it up

Not an 80 -- but I bought a new 79' Z28 and it was nothing but problems. It was high optioned with everything except cruise control and the alum wheels. The t-top seals were replaced twice, the carpet was replaced (turned a green color), the carb was replaced, the hood was repainted (you could see primer under the paint), etc. etc. etc. The local Chevy dealership had a key to the car -- I just dropped it off when crap went bad. Sold it with 21K on it ...
