The Retro Guido Page is Dedicated To Old School Memories Of The Emerging Guido Species that has taken on many different life forms over the past 20 or so years. Starting somewhere around 1986 – the term Guido began to spread like Wild Fire throughout the Northern New Jersey and surrounding Tri-State Area. The First Line Original Guidos were definitely a wide variety bunch of characters.

Of coarse you had your fly by night Douche Bags and your constant Perpetual “Wannabe’s” – but you also had a bunch of people with primarily Italian Blood in their veins, that grouped together and made a fashion statement that would shake the Garden State until this very day. The OG’s (Original Guidos) listened to their Favorite Music and spent their nights in a number of ways. You had the Club Guidos and you had the Street Guidos. The Club Guidos packed into the clubs at night and danced pretty ridiculously to good old Freestyle Music and made mad attempts at picking up ladies with much more noble “Hit Lines” then you hear today. The Street Guidos spent the nights drag racing their 8 cylinder rides on abandoned roads and unfinished highways while chugging down cheap beer, hanging with their posse of Guidettes , and listening to the sounds of Hard Rock Music.

You definitely had two competing worlds held together by an ideology that bonded Italians into their own little cool world that everybody wanted a piece of. To go along with their genetically good looks, the Guidos and Guidettes found it very easy to get what they wanted in the dating world outside of their own little worlds. Terms such as alluring, sexy, and swagger would be a few words to describe how the Guidos and Guidettes were endeared by the outside world. In short, everybody wanted a piece of the Old School Guidos and Guidettes. They were simply put – Stylish With An Attitude! And This Attitude had something todays Attitudes don’t have – Character, Individuality, and Charm. Enough Said

The Ultimate Guido Machine Of The 80′s & Early to Mid 90′s

The Ultimate Old School Guido Machine – The GT version with the Ground Effects on the Back. The LX took The GT in a 0 – 60 speed race but where it really counted the GT took the cake. Like a true stud, the GT had the looks and it definitely hauled in more ladies. This car was a Guidette Babe Magnet .

Don’t get us wrong here – we love the 80′s Guido’s and Guidette’s. They didn’t juice, they didn’t Fist Pump, and they had manners with the Ladies. Yeah their styles were down right hilarious but at the same time they were so fresh and innovative with all the loud and bright colors. The whole Ozone Layer hole was supposedly being destroyed by one particular Guido essential amongst many other things - Aqua net. Aerosol products were considered bad for the Ozone and those Jersey Girls could be measured by the amount of Aqua Net they used per hour in a similar fashion to how MPH on a car are calculated. 14 Oz an hour would be an entire bottle and girls were pumping through that sticky shit in no time at all. Empty Aqua Net Cans could be heard clanging on the ground at all times and shelves at Hair Product stores were straining to keep themselves stocked with this concoction of the ages adopted by the Guido culture. Men had a little fetish with Aqua net as well to keep those neatly sculped Mullets in place. Times were good and so was the sex. You had to learn it to earn it and spend it and friend it. After a few weeks you could go all the way if you played your cards right. Enough said on this little flashback post.
