It showed up in movies usually by a less then likable figure and it never seemed to be forgotten. Chances are those that still have problems with them are in their 40's and older and still reliving their youth.:

Damn good point 89911. People can seem to let **** go. Even after 20 years. Sure the car is only worth 20K now, but then, you were a big swinging dick with one.

When my wife tells people I have a Porsche she says "you know the 80's one, like everyone thinks of..."
