My first car was a 1980 Pontiac LeMans. Shit brown inside and out. Hide the little bit of rust it had quite well. Hand me down from my dad when I turned 16, had it for 3-4 years before I killed it and bought the Avenger. Stuff I added???..quarts of 5w-30 on a regular basis(blown RMS). Got rid of it when the motor locked up beating the piss out of it on the back roads of Duanesburg where I grew up. I learned how to drive well in that auto shitbox. I don’t have any pictures, but this one from Wikpedia is a spitting image of my old old car: ![http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/'79_Pontiac_LeMans.jpg/250px-'79_Pontiac_LeMans.jpg](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/'79_Pontiac_LeMans.jpg/250px-'79_Pontiac_LeMans.jpg) -Adam ---

One advantage of the 8-track tape... “8-track players became less common in homes and automobiles in the late 1970s. By the time the Compact Disc arrived in 1982–83, the 8-track had greatly diminished in popularity.” so you are telling me that your 1988 van had an 8-track player when CDs have been out for 5 years and regular cassettes were dominating for at least 10+ years? I find that extremely hard to believe. I was born in 81 and I’ve never seen an 8-track player in a car. ---
