Introduced in 1974 as a full sized V8 suv. It shared the same body style with the Wagoneer, but was less expensive and aimed more to young buyers. The most popular were 2 door models that competed with the Ford Bronco and Chevy Blazer, but a 4 door version was produced.
In 1984 the Cherokee was downsized to a boxier design that would become the birth of the small 4 door SUV. 2 Door models were still produced but lost popularity in the 90's. The Cherokee continued on it's 1984 design until 2001, making it one of the longest produced designs in history. It was only given one face lift in 1997, rounding off the front to make it more 90's looking. In 2002 it was replaced by the all new Jeep Liberty.
Throughout the '84-'01 time span, the Cherokee was offered in many different trims, some which are rare to this day. Chief, Laredo, Pioneer, Limited, Country, Sport, Classic, etc are some examples. Engines were all AMC, even after Chryslers take over of the company in '87. The most popular engine offered was the 4.0 I6, one the best engines ever.
Today Jeep Cherokees are still popular with all sorts of people. From soccer-moms to off roaders, it's an SUV that won't die.

Jeep Cherokee Chiefs are very rare today, as is the Cherokee "Briarwood" which was produced only in '91 and '92.

A district in Wilmington, Delaware that is south of the Christiana river. Quite possibly the worst neighborhood in the entire state. Very very ghetto, full of porch-monkeys, and burnt out town-houses. Has more abandoned houses then people actually living in them. The people there all live on welfare or sell/do drugs before ending up in prison. Avoid this area at all costs.
Fred: I got lost in Wilmington and ended up in Southbridge!! Some gangbanger tried to sell me crack!
Dwayne: Shit, that must of been scary!

A FWD midsize car made by Oldsmobile from 1982 to 1996.
Offered with a I4 or V6 engine. After it was introduced it quickly became Oldsmobiles sole focus and best selling model, and by the time they stopped making them the body style looked quite outdated. Throughout it's life the Ciera was a popular Granny mobile and Rental car. As boring as they looked, they have proven to be reliable. Many are still being driven today and make good beaters for teenagers.

Anthony: Hey I heard your Grandmother gave you her crappy Cutlass Ciera. What year is that thing, like an '84?
Mark: It's a '95 actually. I couldn't believe it. I don't care though, all I care about is that I got a set of wheels.

The last real Cadillac based on the 1980 body style.
Made from 1987-1992. V8 engine, rear wheel drive, vinyl roof, bigggg boxy 4 door sedan. Many are still on the roads today, as they are indestructable and were well taken care of by their senior citizen owners when they were new.

Cadillac Broughams were popular limos, fleet cars, and senior citizen mobiles when new, and now you can get them cheap due to everybodies obsession with small cars.

First appeared in 1962 as a full sized two door coupe, similar to the Bonneville. In 1969 it was moved to the mid-sized chassis shared with Chevy's Monte Carlo. Was given a re-style in 1973. Many would agree that 1962-1977 were the most stylish years for this personal luxury coupe. But it was down sized in 1978 to a boxy generic design which continued till 1988. Thats when the Grand Prix was redesigned as a Front Wheel Drive aero jelly bean on wheels. 4 Door models were offered, due to the declining popularity of personal luxury coupes. The Grand Prix lost it's uniqueness and was just another boring GM sedan. It was redesigned in 1997, and 2004, but still continued the same look until the Pontiac name was axed in 2009.
I don't know what GM were thinking in the 80's, but they turned the cool Pontiac Grand Prix into a boring crap box that looked the same as all their other cars.

A small boring 4 cylinder car made by Chevy from 1976-1987. This was the car for the ultimate cheapskate. It was meant to replace the Vega in the small car line up, but was still just as crappy. Mid 70's models included a "woodie" version with fake wood trim usually seen on stationwagons. And there was also a bare bones "scooter" version which didn't even have a backseat or a glove compartment. In 1979 the Chevette was given a minor face lift with square head lights, and it stayed the same until 1987 when it was replaced by the badge-engineered "Geo" brand of General Motors.
Kid1: I bet my little red wagon could go faster then then that crappy Chevy Chevette!!
Kid2: LMAO, I bet!! Even my Moms Pacer looks better then that crap box!!

One of the dumbest shows on MTV. The women are catty bitchy shrews that aren't even attractive, and the guys are all wannabe macho men who suffer from penis envy. Do yourself a favor and watch something else, 'cause this is crap.
I watched about 10 minutes of Jersey shore last night before changing the channel in disgust. What a bunch of crap.
