“Nope, the unions sank Detroit.”
Exactly.
The article pans the Pinto, but it was not a bad car for the price. It was light years better than the Chevette.
I drove a Pinto during my college years. It was a good little car until I backed it into a ditch full of fermenting soybeans. The farmer lady that hooked a chain to my front bumper and pulled us out with her tractor was NOT happy.
D*amn college kids lost on their way home from a kegger. I thank my lucky stars for that lady, and I can still recall the smell of those beans and my lovely Pinto (bean).
I owned a Pinto, the second worst car I ever owned, the worst being a AMC Gremlin. I also owned a Cavalier (so-so), Chevette (rolling crap) and presently own an Astro which is actually a nice vehicle that just needed to be updated occasionally.
