Country:  | Best "Disco" Car
This is for all of you "middle-aged" viewers out there . . . .
I come up with some really random ideas when I'm driving home from work each day, and this is one of them: What was the best "disco car"? In other words, what was the coolest car to be driving back in 1980 when you drove to the local disco to pick-up on chicks? I came up with a short list above, but please feel free to suggest others (I told you this was off-topic!).

Because I own a '79 L-82 T-top.
BTW, for the record, Disco Sucks!

Country: | I always hated Stationwagon type vehicles until I saw the Vista Cruiser... What a car. Someday, when I win the lottery I'm owning the Hurst 4-4-2 model and souping that baby up. Want to blow some kiddies away in a drag in thier little rice burners with the mosquito exhaust systems!!!

Country: | yeah, but in 1980, how many teenagers could afford a Corvette, much less a Porsche. We had tons of Z-28's and Trans Am's in the school parking lot.
