I worked on enough of those crap boxes back then, I sure wasn't going to own one.

The 85 Lebaron GTS was a much better car, but by then, I was way past getting lucky in any car (married 7 years with 2 kids). At home was much better.

Come to think about it, the back seat, or any place in a car wasn't really something I was interested in, I had much better options, even at 16.
