Were the Eighties really over in 1990? Judging from this ad for the badge-engineered Suzuki Sidekick, they were still going stronger than Central American "freedom fighters" (to be fair, the ad probably aired in 1989). The message here seems to be: leave your Tracker on the beach (provided you don't have a rollover crash on the way to the beach) while you go scuba diving, and all manner of sketchy individuals will dangle their dead fish in your new ride. We're still admiring the excellent Turbo Lifeguard Mullet
