For 1983 I looked up the definition of "Automobile" in my Random House Dictionary of the English Language and I got a one word definition: BORING. I'm kidding of course, but I do think cars in '83 were boring.
The next burning question is, "What is a Dictionary?" I was informed by my 15 year old granddaughter that they no longer have dictionary's in her school. In further conversation I learned that her school also no longer teaches cursive writing or basic math (i.e. addition, subtraction, etc.). I'm feeling old.

I got commissioned as a Coast Guard Ensign, married and moved to Florida from Boston in 1983. Retired as a Commander in 2004 but still married to the same woman. 👴👍
BTW that Monte Carlo (Regal, Cutlas) was not too bad, almost bought an 84.

@frank, I agree with you about the Monte Carlo, Regal, and Cutlass. And congratulations on still being married. In today's world that's commendable.

Bought a new ' 83 Plymouth Reliant 2 door 5 speed std, the biggest LEMON I ever bought. After a year+ and 17,000 miles it became one of Conn. first lemon law enforcement cases. Long story.

I feel your pain with your LEMON. I've told the story before of me purchasing a brand new '73 Plymouth Duster in July 1973. All I heard from everyone was that it was a car with a great engine...the "Slant Six". At 61,000 miles the engine blew and I found out that Chrysler wouldn't step up and fix it. Like yours, it was a long story. Needless to say, I was soured on anything produced by Chrysler from then on.
