I dont know what kind of car that yellow GarbageMobile is...its just a big old car, tho...it zips around, like it thinks its brand new....and yes, its a gas guzzler, but then, it only goes to the dump, and to the recycle center, so it really uses a minimum of gas...
We have owned our share of old cars...but my favorite one was the 1962 Valiant...we had that car from 1980-1983, when our other car went kaput...at that time, BigDom was only a few years into the army, and we did not have a lot of money...we got that Valian for 499dollars...it was white, with red interior....and it had a push button transmission, with buttons and a little lever on the left of the steering wheel...the guy who sold to us, had a little auto sales lot, just outside of the housing area we were living in...
We took that little Valiant everywhere, to the beach, on vacations, just everywhere..it had a super slant six engine, that just worked perfectly...we had very few repairs on it, and it was one trustworthy little car, for its age...we had that car in North CArolina...when we got transferred to Washington State, we, had by that time bought another car, a station wagon, but we always kept the little Valiant for backup...
But when we had to move, ,due to our transfer, we did not think that the Valiant would make it...the guy who originally sold it to us, had told us at the time of the sale, that should we want to resell the car, contact him first, as he would be willing to buy it back, because he really liked that tricky lever and push button transmission, and the slant six engine...so we contact him, ,and he actually gave us back, exactly what we had paid for it....
Last I saw that car, it was happily chugging down the road, with the auto dealer waving..he said he was never going to sell it again, but keep it for himself...
