After that I owned two Ford Escort pieces of sh!t. I was in college and working and I missed some work and some classes because those cars were stuck or they wouldn't start for me in the morning or whenever. They wouldn't start in below zero weather. Tinkering with the carborater when it's ten below out isn't fun! The car and tiny engine are simply FROZEN! I can laugh now, but at the time I was less than happy!!!
My goodness!
Are you sure you aren't my daughter?
She had a Toyota Corolla (?) hatchback after the Rabbit.
It was ORANGE. lol
The thing had over 100,000 miles on it when we bought it.
She drove that thing to death going to and from college,
and anywhere else she could think of going.
I learned to drive at twelve years old...cars, boats, motorcycles.
My favorite car was a candy apple red VW Beetle.
I never had a good starter, though.
So, I had to hot-wire it all the time.
Good thing I lived in a small town.
The cops would stop when they saw me hot-wiring it.
After a while, it was common knowledge that I was "okay",
and they would help me, instead of questioning me.
