This happens often in the south. I know it does in Florida. Cars wind up in canals, rivers, or retention ponds and the drivers essentially vanish off the face of the earth. It could be decades, if ever, before the decedent is found.

Oddly enough at first glance it resembles a Porsche 928.

It looks like they made a big sun roof on the car. My sister’s first car was a 72 baby blue Pinto. I remember the gas pedal was skinny, like 2 inches wide. American cars started to go down hill around that time.

My mom talked my dad into buying a Pinto some lady was selling in their area.

It’s a bit of a fixer upper.

The last time I saw, he had it painted and engine rebuilt.

Rumor spreadin’ ‘round
In that Georgia town
About that stream outside La Grange
And you know what I’m talkin’ about

9 comments on the Pinto, one on the dead kid. Classic.

Even worse if he had been rear-ended.

RIP. He was an attractive young man, and considering his choice of transportation, could not have had much of an ego.

That ambulance may have been a little late to the scene of the accident.
