How does someone become the 1980’s?

Also, best/worst name for a car ever. Ford Probe.

Not the 80s. Photo is from the July 1994 issue of Car Audio & Electronics. That is Vickie Ham and her 1991 Ford Probe. She competed in the United States Autosound Competition.

Here is the page from the article that featured the posted image:

He saw that hair and just assumed 80s. But I'm here to tell ya that we dragged that big hair kicking and screaming well into the 90s.

Yes it does! If you had a good cut along with the perm, all you had to do it wash it, pik it out and out the door you went.

Yeah, the clothes too. Those colors and pattern are pure 90’s. I graduated in 93 and 90% of the girls I graduated with had this exact same fashion sense. The hair was still tall, but not as tall as a couple years before. It was a gradual deflation.

I thought that was an early Probe. I had a 93 in high school in the late 90's, great car.

It was supposed to be the restyled Mustang but a mail in campaign by Mustang fans and owners changed the executives at Fords minds and it became the Probe.
