Believe it or not, but they thought they were hot.

There never seems to be a shortage of bruthas willing to ease up in those girls, judging by the amount of kids they usually have in tow.

I worked on many, many, many Luminas and Berettas back in the day. The Lumina was the "W" body and a totally inferior design to just about everything on the road. Even the Chrysler K car was better. Everything on the car sucked to work on and it was a crappy performer as well. Just seeing the pic gave me a piss shudder.

Luminas are odd but I am still searching for a Monza Mirage to stuff a 427ci supercharged LSX in and hunt C8s.

My brother drove one for years, pretty much trouble free after I replaced the intake gaskets.

Pretty sure he got his panties in a wad and took his bat and ball and went home.
