    Ok Ok my very first car was a light blue 1974 Pinto you know the one where if it was hit in the rear it would blow up so they say. I bought it for $400 cash, the drivers seat eventually broke and i held it up with a milk crate. I got 3 of my best years out of Betsy while in college...she eventually died by the highway in Hampton VA i said goodbye and abandoned her. :(

    I was king with car...you had a car in school you were bad to the bone with the ladies.

    Just like this one^^^^^but with a lot more dents. :D No 8 track, no cassettes just a radio.

    Peace



    good grief! my first car was the red 1972 pinto that my dad let me have after he wore it out. I put in an awesome stereo, did all the repair work myself - even had to go to the junk yard to get a new fender to put on after a small accident. we called it the Otnip (pinto backwards).

    I remeber thinking it was the coolest thing ever when we got a fifth TV station (including PBS).
    I remember having to sit in front of the tv and change the channels for my old man. That would be a real bitch nowadays
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
