It's 1992. Your mom just took you through the Dairy Queen drive in after supper. It was 30C today, and it's going to be 35C tomorrow. You're going to go swimming at the local outdoor pool with your mom, little brother, auntie and favourite cousin, tomorrow though. Mom will probably put on that Blue Rodeo tape on the way back. It's not your favorite, but you find yourself waiting for the song hooks.

Life is simple and life is good.

And it probably still works

And it smelled like 20-year-old cigarette smoke

[–] lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Modern cars smell like Axe body spray, weed, and social anxiety.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Two outta three ain't bad, I don't think I've purchased Axe since 2007. The car I drive now was only made one year later lol, and I didn't get it until a decade after that. I guess I've never had a modern car.

If you lose the detachable ashtray, you have to just use the ashtray hole and blow it out every once in a while.

This guy gets it

The 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass cruiser had a curb weight of almost 4,500 lb. Compare that to my Subaru WRX, which is fairly heavy for a modern car and has a curb weight of less than 3,500 lb...

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Looks like the door to the Cadillac sitting in my dad’s garage. Things heavy af

[–] the_xboxkiller@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

If you closed that shit hard enough the ground would shake.

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 2 points 2 days ago

My step-uncle had one of these. He almost never pulled it out and certainly would not have let icecream anywhere near the thing.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 2 points 2 days ago

My buddy got one of these handed down to him and this is no lie.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Cars are super fat anymore so I'll bet my VWs golfs door weighs at least as much.

For reference in 1996 I was hit in my 88 Jetta by an 83 Caprice classic stationwagon, she was going 55 I was doing 45 and hit me head on. I could open the door to my car she had to be cut out.

My parents wrote both VW in Germany and VW USA thanking them for building a good car and got a shit ton of swag

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I've literally taken apart my Golf's doors a half dozen times (Various electrical issues and part replacements). Mk5 mind you not mk1/2 like your Jetta probably was, but they are shockingly light. Like 1mm thin sheet metal molded into a reinforcing shape, the latch motor is by far the heaviest thing in there.

[–] gnu@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

No intrusion bars? Those have a good bit of weight to them due to the strength requirements.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

My 2019 Golf Alltrack weighs 2800 pounds according to the States of Florida, and 3240 pounds with me in it on the scale at the drag strip.

A '94 caprice weighs about 4000 pounds and it is a BoF car.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

I can assure you, little of it is from the doors. My 2007 Audi A6 allroad is 4300 pounds empty according to its birth certificate and the doors on it don't weigh much at all... Or rather they didn't till I added noise absorption mats when I replaced the door locks. Yours is newer but a Golf would likely have less built in noise insulation in the doors than an A6 and it might even have aluminium doors since it's newer. Mine are still steel, but the metal is pretty thin.

Do the red and white courtesy lights work when you open the door? The mirror control, joystick, was cool too.
