I had a 74 Pinto, $2500 brand new!......................

My ex-wife had a souped up Pinto wagon, neon orange, raised up in the back, with fat tires and mag wheels when I married her. It was actually a pretty fun to drive and eye catching car while we had it.

73 here brand new .

My first car was a 1970 Ford Maverick, Freudian Gilt color, RWD, straight six, seat belts as an option. $1995.

I was almost killed in February 1970 when I was run off the road on NY 17 on an icy day, by a retired NY State trooper. Why my rear wheels caught on a barrier over a 50 foot drop to the river I don’t know - but I’m still here, 56 years later.

When NYSP showed up, they were glad to see their old buddy. I was cited for reckless driving. Some things never change.

I had a bruise across my chest from the old fashioned separate chest belt - but I have never driven without belts from that day to this. The option cost extra, but it might have saved my life.
