First car ?
1974 Vega, was about to drop an all aluminum V-8 motor into it when I was T-boned in an intersection, oddly enough, by another Vega. The car was totaled.
Next car,
1972 Pinto.
Just a temporary car until I got my 1974 pinto Wagon.
I beat the crap out of that car and recall laying on my back with the transmission on my chest while replacing the clutch disk. And having to do it again since I put it in backwards the first time.
1974 Vega - that was the one you had to strap groceries in a seatbelt if they were in the front seat! LOL
The delivery company I worked for bought ONE - it sat in the lot as the extra car. Unlucky me, it was the one available for me to drive when working between semesters in school.
NOBODY wanted to drive that car!
