How does someone become the 1980’s?

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

So this is just a random woman from the '80s that you want for an ancestress?

1980s hair products are probably behind the bulk of climate change we see today.

My Dad bought the first Ford Probe available in our city when they first came out. He went to the dealership to look at the new Tempo's and saw their two new arrivals still on the truck. A decked out black GT and nifty red LX. Dad wanted the GT without so much as a test drive, but they refused to sell it to him. They had literally just arrived and they wanted at least a day or two to display it out front. The did agree to sell him the red LX, so he bought it. They were '89 models, and this was in March of '88, btw. I was working in automotive service at the time and hadn't even heard about them yet, so I was a bit surprised. Didn't take long to figure out they were just a reskinned Mazda 626, which was just fine because they were slicker than owl doo-doo...

Grandma? Wow, I feel old. She looks about 20 and judging by the clothes and hair this probably 88-92, so born late 60s, early 70s. She’d be a grandmother - maybe - of young children, right? Not ones old enough to be posting or is my math bad? Guess it’s possible if she and her kids had kids really young.

What an...interesting selection of colours. And what, pray tell, is that colour the car's supposed to be?!

The local proctologist in my small NE Missouri town was the first to own a Ford Probe. Gotta a love a doc with a self aware sense of humor.

Nice car. Why'd she paint it with Pepto Bismol?

That’s a weird caption. Not saying she is not your grandma is sufficient, too.

I can think of some uses for her, none involve being my grandma

I know young women from the 80s are becoming grandmothers now including my wife but this title still kinda stung.

My first car was a 1993 Ford Probe. Literally a rolling piece of garbage.

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.

The “my grandma when she was young” posts are now valley girls from the 80’s 😭

Why has no one asked OP’s relationship to this woman?

If she isn’t your grandma, who is this lol
