I bought my first 80 SR-5 with the rectangular windows behind the door and
the LONG hatch (referred to as the Green 80 or '421) in 1986. I wrecked
it in '88. I bought another (The red 80 or '668) after that and drove it
until October of 1994. Before the two TE72's, I had a KE30 from 1979
(bought new) and before that I had a TA12. Was that the hatchback or the
liftback? The dealer never could seem to make the distinction when I was
trying to order parts. After that I bought an S-10 that I drove until
1999(mistake) when I bought the AE109 that I still drive.
