It wouldn't surprise me, they were as fancy as you wanted to pay for. The two I was in were nice houses, not that fancy though.

While that is fun to think about, it is far from the truth. Cars today are far heavier than similar sized cars from the 80s.
Crash standards, emission requirements, computers and wiring, sound deadener all conspire to make cars heavier.
The 1985 Chevy Sprint was a 3 cylinder 5 speed car that was EPA rated at 53 mpg freeway. It weighed 2100 lbs, had no air bags, no automatic seat belts, blind spot monitors, crash avoidance warnings, it had drum brakes on the rear....Try to find a new car today that weighs under 3500.

My friend just bought a new Nissan Z. It weighs more than my Barracuda. I believe he said it was 4K. It’s small.
