Ah, but were they weird? :-)
The Volvo, most definitely. Most numb car ever, with a steering wheel the size of a wagon wheel. Very odd how a car could be designed to completely remove any feel for driving the thing, almost to punish you for having a car. Was about the time I heard the expression:
"Volvo, the car for people that hate cars"
I was just embarrassed to drive a two-tone color Datsun. Was like it was designed for disco folks. Made me feel very weird driving it.
