Good shots

First thoughts:
  • Must have been a bad day for Coleman. He forgot to shave.
    It's 80s down to the footwear: Ostrich boots for Hasselhoff and velcro laces for Gary.

  • I wonder if the smiles and thumbs up have to do with Dana Plato being passed out in the back seat.

  • Did Kitt* have a back seat?

  • I don't see how David Hasselhoff's toothpick legs were able to support the head and hair. A man with that build makes "Flounder" from Animal House look like a more credible action star. He must be slouching because standing straight up would have snapped his spine in two.

  • The dude in the back is wearing a pancho.

  • The dude wearing the pancho and the desert missionary set makes me think that this was a crossover between Diff'rnt Strokes, Night Rider and the A-Team. While being perhaps the greatest crossover ever, I doubt that the 80s TV infrastructure could have handled such a core density of awesome.
Thanks to John, who passed on this piece of evidence to me. He seems to have noticed a recent obsession with the 80s here.

*Correction: It's Kitt, not Kip. Kitt apparently stood for Knight Industries Two Thousand. I hope this makes you happy.
