Were 1980s cars really that bad?

A buddy had a '83-'84 Z/28. We were going out one night and both hopped in. The doors closed at exactly the same time and the pressure pushed the windshield right out of the car.

I bought a '79 Trans Am brand new. Loved it. Still think its a great looking car and hope to get another soon. Amazing handling, for the time. However, it had to be the worst car car I ever owned. Bad paint, leaky t-tops, electrical problems, no power, awful gas mileage, slow, etc. But it was fun. It was really cheap due to the gas shortage in '79. Sold it after 6 months, the gas shortage had ended, for roughly $3,000 more than I paid for it. Almost like a Wrangler, you know its a bad car, but its a Wrangler!

I think that's the best line I've read in quite a while.
