I think that somehow the fat 80's horns aren't as obvious on an S:

Is anybody getting SICK of my '87 Ruby S yet?!! I'm shameless, I tell ya!

But if I'm choosing between the fat horns on an 80's 4003, and the fat neck on a newer 4003, I prefer the 80's.

And BTW...this Ruby on Ebay looks pretty sweet!

Do I use that word too much..."Sweet?"

I had an '86 4003S, and don't remember the horn being fat, and that neck was "sweet" too!Image
