Just found this pic of me back in 1988...

Two days after I got this 1980 Datsun 210, I had a cellphone put in. Thought it was a cool blast from the past thing.

Still have the car? It'd be a shoe-in for this:

Do I wish I had that. That is awesome. I had it from 1988 until 2004, though. It ended up looking like the below pic.

plastic framed double wipers came in many colors and were huge here in the U.S. from about 1986-1992. all the parts houses (and Wal-Mart) had 'em. you could even get 'em in "gold" plating :roll:

.

you could also get these little "air foil" wings that attached to the double wipers and were supposed to push the wipers harder against the glass.

tiny stickers for the air foils got popular for awhile. I had to explain to a Texan who had put some flag stickers on the foils of his teal green Silverado step side that the flags were actually the Puerto Rican flag and not the Texas flag :shock:
