80's are just fugly. They look like a pregnant whale. The price difference 
between the 80 and 90 is so negligible that unless you have an 80 laying 
around, just go with the 90. More accouterments to play 
with...Prettier....This is a completely baseless assumption, and I'm proud 
of it.

80/90 is just a better made car, all around, than the 4000. Sad to say it, 
but it's true.
4000's do have the dubious distinction of being more maneuverable by having 
so much body flex that you are actually bending the metal around corners. 
No need for any of this "stiff body" stuff...Body flex is where it's at!

And you can't beat the rust.  None of this mambie-pambie galvanizing or 
rust proofing...Rust makes the car lighter! Eats away that pesky paint and 
metal that just weigh the car down.
