This week, Alex, Cam, Tyler, and Beck choose their top five vehicles from the model year 1980 in an impromptu, nearly unprepped episode. Spoiler alert: you've heard Tyler talk about bikes, but it's a widely known \"secret\" around the halls of BaT that his taste in cars is...well, weird. The crew talk about their surprisingly fun research, skin-deep beauty, and the wide variety of cultural ways in which 1980 was a transitional periodThey also narrowly avoid a prolonged version of the usual \"what is a supercar\" debate; slightly cheat with Euro cars; spend a surprising amount of time on the Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trail Duster; stump Alex (again) but allow him out of perpetual loserhood; talk about the various trips one might take in a Vanagon; discovered all sorts of eagles glee; recount a worse \"learning to drive stick\" story than most of you have, thankfully; and take an unexpected but welcome diversion into the land (sea?) of Boston Whaler center consoles.Mentioned in this episode:8:42  Ex-Steve McQueen 1952 Chevrolet 3800 Pickup with Camper and Husqvarna CR2509:45  Ex-Steve McQueen bikes on BaT17:42  1980 BMW M121:33  1980 Honda CBX Super Sport and   29-Years-Owned 1980 Honda CBX Super Sport23:36  Euro 1980 Porsche 930 Turbo26:34 1980 Ferrari 512 BB28:34 1980 Ferrari 308 GTBi30:04  1980 Plymouth Trail Duster31:56 1978 Dodge Ramcharger Top Hand 4×432:31  Dodge Ramcharger / Plymouth Trail Duster model page34:04  Ex-CHP 1982 Dodge Ramcharger 4×435:07  One-Family-Owned 1980 Volkswagen Scirocco S 5-Speed38:50 Single-Family-Owned 1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe Weissach43:05  Euro 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.945:00  1980 Cadillac Seville52:31  1979 Ford Pinto Wagon 4-Speed52:47  Time Machine: A Success Story in Motion from BaT and Pennzoil53:38  1980 Ford Pinto Rallye Pack Wagon 4-Speed56:01  1980 AMC Eagle 2-Door Sedan58:03  1979 Jeep CJ-7 Golden Eagle 4-Speed1:01:12  1980 GL 4WD - US Ski Team Wagon1:04:07  1980 Mercedes-Benz 280GE Cabriolet 4-Speed1:06:44 8k-Mile 1980 Ford Mustang McLaren M-811:10:03  1984 Zimmer Golden Spirit Classic1:12:23  Single-Family-Owned 1986 Boston Whaler Montauk 17′ Project1:14:28  Porsche 935 K31:21:20  V8-Powered 1980 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 5-Speed1:24:38 1980 Toyota Celica RA45 GT2000 RallyGot suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community, One Year Garage episode, or (B)aT the Movies subject?
