| 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!). |

| In 1980? A 1978 Trans-Am with T-tops, rally wheels, and an 8 track.

| How about a Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Couldn't you just see hanging a mirrored Disco ball in the back of one of these.

| 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!!!

| 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.
