What are you asking? Best or Worst?

who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to.
who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on.

You mean worst (like you mentioned in your title)? Or are you asking for worst in the poll and best in the topic?

Worst is the 80s and best is the 50s.

Fuck I am too tired. I meant worst.

Any particular reason you think the 1980s were worst? While I can see why people wouldn't like that decade, I definitely think they were better then the cheap 90s. I think the only good things to come out of that entire decade was the '96 Caravan and '97 F-Series trucks.

I just always thought of any car from the 80s (and early 90s) as being very tacky looking. Much like everything else in the 80s, it's like they threw everything they learned out the door on how to style them.

I guess I can see that, but compared to the plastic jellybean designs of the 90s?

I see the 80s as a decade of growth and innovation. Its remarkable, that a transition from large, rear wheel drive, carburated, large displacement/low output, vehicles to compact, unibody, front/all-wheel drive, fuel injected sedans was made in only one decade.

90s is like a repeat of the 60s except it exaggerates the modernizing aspect to the designs. For example, the VW Beetle;

Though I don't think it's too bad, as it's supposed to be more appealing to females more than males. But still... it was a huge leap at the time.

The 80s for sure, the cars were filled with Gadgets that didn't work and the cars lacked reliability.

The best age was the 60s.

Dude, I talk about all cars in general not just 1 shitty compact, plus it was in the 80s as well.
