newVideoPlayer("90_Geo_Tracker_476.flv", 506, 423,""); Were the Eighties really over in 1990? Judging from this ad for the badge-engineered Suzuki Sidekick, they were still going stronger than Central American "freedom fighters" (to be fair, the ad probably aired in 1989). The message here seems to be: leave your Tracker on the beach (provided you don't have a rollover crash on the way to the beach) while you go scuba diving, and all manner of sketchy individuals will dangle their dead fish in your new ride. We're still admiring the excellent Turbo Lifeguard Mullet

newVideoPlayer("85_Tercel_Wagon_476.flv", 463, 387,""); Ever since we had an '85 Tercel 4WD wagon on DOTS , I've been trying to find an ad for the thing to use in this series. Yes, it's a hokey Christmas-themed ad, but at least there's some low-yield hoonage involved. Was 1985 the high-water mark for Toyota, before the accountants took over and focus-grouped the life out of their vehicles?

newVideoPlayer("83_JeepCJ_Macho_476.flv", 463, 387,""); You know what big-haired early-80s chicks really liked? No, we mean even more than cocaine. That's right, a macho dude who rides a buffalo to work! Thing is, sometimes you need a ride that doesn't leave bovine poop in the parking garage, and then there's the matter of getting Buffalo Crotch Scabies from bareback bison riding. That's when you go for the Jeep CJ, which is slightly more comfortable than the buffalo, yet nearly as macho.
