When we were broke Airmen a friend bought a light yellow Pacer with white vinyl interior. When he was looking for a car he asked me whether he should buy that Pacer and I said, “why not?” I never thought he would take me seriously but he never did hold a grudge against me.
That was the worst looking car I have ever seen.
The Pacer is the best car ever made for sighting! Almost as good as the bubble top train cars. It had lots of room being a two seater. And it was my brother cars so none of the problems bother me.
Back in the early 80’s, I owned a Pacer, a Pinto , and a Chevy Vega. I paid $200-$250 each for them. I once had 7 cars and none of them cost more than $300.
That way, I knew at least one of them would be working. I never had a car note in my life till I turned 45 and bought a new truck.
I worked for a guy who collected sports cars. Couple Vettes, Jaguars, a Benz, AC Bristol. His everyday ride was a Pacer
