Yup, those are them
When I ordered a new 1994 (last year for square body) it was a $13 option. Since I ordered it under the GM employee plan it cost me $11.05 plus sales tax.
They held salt behind them and it was the first spot that started rusting on it.

Based on what I've seen on the few I've seen in the junkyards, I'd believe it. They are just the right size for putting some 9-10" wide wheels on a 2WD S10, and making it look right.
The best part about when I have to actually do my job is when what I have to do involves doing things in Excel. The more formulas and conditional formatting I get to do, the happier I am.
I bought a $150 supercharger from the jungle website just for the novelty.
I was reading an article on another car enthusiast website about a guy who installed one on his Scout, which sent me down a rabbit hole.
I wonder if I could get it to fit on one of my Coleman minibikes? Hmmm...

I'm probably going to pick up an RX8 today or tomorrow to part out. It's got a $3000 stop tech brake kit and is listed for $1000, so feels like I can only do well here.

The more my job involves excel or sql, the less annoyed at it I am.

It looks REMARKABLY intact. Title included.
I prefer the Levin over the Trueno... I don't like pop up headlights.
I awoke suddenly last night after dreaming someone licked my feet. Not like a pet, but a human tongue.
When I first heard the song What’s up I thought it was a joke, like a spoof from SNL or something, and I laughed.
Then I heard it again and realized it wasn't

The He Man version of the video is better than the original.
I met David Hobbs @ Road America today and I think he wasn't happy because I didn't buy his book. I thanked him for his attendance at RA and he was silent.
When I read an article where the writer refers to a movie as a "tentpole", I immediately give up, stop reading, and close the tab.

What does that even mean?

The Cleverlys cover is pretty good, my kids didn't realize there was "an original" til the other day.

Did you here him say " Hello, I'm David Hobbs"? In his cool British accent.
In reply to MyMiatas :
It was hard to hear over BS Levy chatttering about his new book and Hobb's promoter telling me to buy 2 books.
I feel like BS Levy has a pretty good scam going, but it's not interesting enough to me to make want to buy any of his books.

It means the writer is a pretentious weenie, near as I can figure.
I think it is supposed to mean like the pole in a circus, it holds the show up? Like a halo car that brings people into the showroom and then they decide to buy a RAV4 instead. Except I have never known people to go to a movie theater and say, you know I was going to see this MCU movie, I think I'll watch this other movie instead.

That's exactly how I feel when I see someone call a car a "shooting brake"

I used to refer to my old Corolla liftback as a shooting brake. I thought it was pretty accurate. Pic (obviously not mine) of the body style for reference:
Anyone who took either that comment or that car too seriously was having a worse day than me.
Minor confession: I still kind of miss that car. It was with me through a lot of good times and bad, and as a delivery car, it put up with an awful lot of abuse.

I was afraid it was going to be something else, to the extent that I opened a private window before doing a search to find out...
Apparently it means a movie which is guaranteed to rake in $M's and therefore lets the studio pay for smaller, riskier projects as well.
So maybe more like "the new SooperDuty KingRaptorsquatch is guaranteed to sell out, let's make a retro-tribute Rs200 Mach-E" or whatever.

More like "this MCU movie was good, so maybe this one will be too."
