Auto World could have offered free hookers and blow when it opened its doors and it still would have failed. Flint was already an sh!thole of epic proportion by the time this travesty went from blueprints to bricks & mortar. The only picturesque view of Flint was in your rearview mirror.

Single DIN cassette decks because I’m a analog guy living in a digital world. I miss cassette deck and speaker shopping and and installing new equipment.

Back in the mid 80's I visited Corfu in Greece. Other global travellers that we linked up with with rented a Citroen Mehari, kind of like a VW thing, but built on the 2CV chassis.

Second gen Cadillac SRX headlights were as dismal as those full sized trucks you mention.  My SIL had one, even with the high beams on, they were not as bright as standard lights of today.

And why not re-do Smokey and the Bandit while we’re at it - and who would you cast in all four main roles (Bandit, Frog, Justice and Snowman)?

Beat me to it.  Bond & Bullitt would be quite the resume.
