Pickup truck owners sometimes get weird when you refer to a Suburban or Tahoe as a truck, even though it's on a truck frame.  More silly tribalism, I guess.  I've owned both and I don't care what you call them.

Nice, the Vette really hung in there at a fraction of the price (but still way expensive).

I like that the Ford GT has the same engine I have in my F150 pickup. :)

These usually weren't very sport of course, but it interesting how back then, automakers would make significant styling changes each year with the same basic car.  Now the styling changes/updates are usually every 4-5-6-7 years with some more modest updates to relatively less conspicuous things.  

The top one is not stock, the other two may be close.
