Jeep Cherokee

Introduced in 1974 as a full sized V8 suv. It shared the same body style with the Wagoneer, but was less expensive and aimed more to young buyers. The most popular were 2 door models that competed with the Ford Bronco and Chevy Blazer, but a 4 door version was produced.

In 1984 the Cherokee was downsized to a boxier design that would become the birth of the small 4 door SUV. 2 Door models were still produced but lost popularity in the 90's. The Cherokee continued on it's 1984 design until 2001, making it one of the longest produced designs in history. It was only given one face lift in 1997, rounding off the front to make it more 90's looking. In 2002 it was replaced by the all new Jeep Liberty.

Throughout the '84-'01 time span, the Cherokee was offered in many different trims, some which are rare to this day. Chief, Laredo, Pioneer, Limited, Country, Sport, Classic, etc are some examples. Engines were all AMC, even after Chryslers take over of the company in '87. The most popular engine offered was the 4.0 I6, one the best engines ever.

Today Jeep Cherokees are still popular with all sorts of people. From soccer-moms to off roaders, it's an SUV that won't die.

Jeep Cherokee Chiefs are very rare today, as is the Cherokee "Briarwood" which was produced only in '91 and '92.

Pontiac Grand Prix

First appeared in 1962 as a full sized two door coupe, similar to the Bonneville. In 1969 it was moved to the mid-sized chassis shared with Chevy's Monte Carlo. Was given a re-style in 1973. Many would agree that 1962-1977 were the most stylish years for this personal luxury coupe. But it was down sized in 1978 to a boxy generic design which continued till 1988. Thats when the Grand Prix was redesigned as a Front Wheel Drive aero jelly bean on wheels. 4 Door models were offered, due to the declining popularity of personal luxury coupes. The Grand Prix lost it's uniqueness and was just another boring GM sedan. It was redesigned in 1997, and 2004, but still continued the same look until the Pontiac name was axed in 2009.

I don't know what GM were thinking in the 80's, but they turned the cool Pontiac Grand Prix into a boring crap box that looked the same as all their other cars.

Newbury Comics

A chain DVD/CD store, where you can never find what you're looking for. They are located in alot of Malls, and usually charge an arm and a leg for crap that's worth about 3 bucks on amazon.com. They tend to cater to the younger generation so most CD's and movies are "new" stupid tween crap. They also sell useless novelty items and used Movies/CD's that stop working after awhile. To sum it up perfectly, this place sucks.

Manny: Yo dudes, I went to Newbury Comics looking for several Metal albums, but all I saw was Justin Bieber shit, and a bunch of Crap!! Wtf is that all about?
Bruce: That store is a rip off. I was looking at Judas Priest albums there that costed 15 bucks!!! So I ordered it online and got it much cheaper.
Jake: Whatever ya'll do, don't buy there cheap used shit. I was watchin' a DVD last night that just stopped working.

7th Heaven

A terrible TV series that came out in the mid 90's and ended in 2007 (finally). Focusing on the lives of the Camden family in some made up California town. The cast were all physically attractive goody two shoes types, that wore over done make up, and the plots always focused around learning some lesson, and then everything is back to normal. It was basically one of those "we have some minor problem now" but "everything will end well" type shows. Totally unrealistic, aimed to young kids, and if they actually think families act like the Camdens in real life, then they're very dumb.

7th Heaven was just terrible. The blond haired kid Simon was a total twerp who'd get beaten up in real life. Lucy and Mary both dressed like skanks and wore way to much make up, and as for Ruthie she was an annoying brat who went the same way as her sisters as she grew up. I'm convinced the only good character was the family dog, haha.

Ratt

An awesome L.A. Glam Metal band formed around 1983, and popular up until about 1991. The band was made up of:
Stephen Pearcy - Vocals
Bobby Blotzer - Drums
Warren Demartini and Robbin Crosby - Guitars
Juan Croucier - Bass

Through the 80's and early 90's they made awesome albums such as:
Out of the cellar - '84
Invasion of your privacy - '85
Dancing undercover - '86
Reach for the sky - '88
Detonator - '90

Justin: I was listening to "Slip of the lip" by Ratt on youtube. That's some awesome old school metal! Kicks the crap out of anything today.
Mike: Yeah, I love that band! But grunge and alternative had to ruin everything!

Towncar

A large RWD car made by Lincoln. Shares the same platform with the Ford Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis.

It was an upscale trim package on Continentals in the 70's. Then it became it's own model in 1981 on a downsized bodystyle known as the "panther" platform. It lost it's boxy design in 1990, and again in 1998, making the body more aero looking each time. Towncars went on to be a stereotypical senior citizen mobile, gangster mobile, and also an extremely popular livery car for the rest of it's life. By the 2000's, it was the biggest car in production and large luxury cars had completly lost popularity. The majority went to Livery companies, and the Town Car and panther platform in general were phased out in 2011.

Dan: Your grandfathers 80's Towncar sure is cool looking.
Mike: That things an old school beast, but he doesn't drive much. He's 85 years old.

Ford Crown Victoria

The Ford Crown Victoria was first introduced as a luxury trim package on Ford LTD's in 1981. It became it's own model in 1983 and became very popular with Senior Citizens, Police, Taxi companies, and other fleet use. The boxy body style is probably the best ever, and was made until 1991. In 1992 an all new Crown Victoria was offered, which featured round aero styling. It was rounded out even more in 1998 (it's last restyle), and by the 2000's the full size RWD sedan had completly fallen out of favor. Majority of sales were for fleet and police use, and the Crown Victoria was discontinued in 2011.

Ford's making a huge mistake discontinuing the Ford Crown Victoria. Cabbies and Police need a large car like that.
