i remember those. had one for a short bit. i actually liked the car.. but ya know, being a teenager, you'd like pretty much any car if it was the only one you had to drive.

the car after that was a red mustang. it was puurrdy. i hated it. it had the 4cyl pinto engine. step on the gas and it just groaned.. noooooooo!!. the pinto was faster (it had a v6).

My dad had a friend who once had a job basically slapping the rear end from one Pinto onto the front end of another, and he said that one time a safety inspector remarked that he was making them safer than they were rolling out of the factory.
