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.
You're in the middle of death valley in a heat wave.
It's hotter than Venus outside.
Your mom turns the AC on low.
The 17.4L V8 Gas Guzzler super-extra-big-block engine bogs an imperceptible amount
The weapons grade CFCs—now banned by the Geneva convention—form icicles on your eyebrows in seconds.
One of the weird problems car guys ran into in the 1990's was cars with non-functional R12 A/C. If you had one that had lost it's gas, that was it unless you could find someone's forgotten stash of white cylinders or wanted to circulate high pressure propane in front of and around an internal combustion engine.
Nowadays it's easy enough to change it over to R134a.
If you closed that shit hard enough the ground would shake.
And it probably still works
My buddy got one of these handed down to him and this is no lie.
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
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.
No intrusion bars? Those have a good bit of weight to them due to the strength requirements.
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.
My step-uncle had one of these. He almost never pulled it out and certainly would not have let icecream anywhere near the thing.
I drive electric.
The average new car weighs more than the famously heavy Oldsmobile 98.
Do the red and white courtesy lights work when you open the door? The mirror control, joystick, was cool too.
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...
