Pulling a close second might have to be the mid 1980's.

A high school kid who worked hard part time could afford to buy leftover 60's muscle cars for pretty cheap if willing to put some sweat equity into it.

They might not have all been pretty(some were) or numbers matching...but man could those cars MOVE.

In retrospect, it was like selling old rockets to pubescent male monkeys for literally a few peanuts.

I'm surprised so many of us survived and how relatively few mushroom clouds eventuated.
