“You should have seen the rattle trap that my parents let me drive when I was 16. You had to pump the brakes to make the car stop and if you drove over 50 the front wheels would bounce up and down and it would overheat if you drove it to the top of an overpass and if you ever stopped the car in a bad neighborhood, the battery was certain to go dead and you’d have to walk home.”

Wow, did we have the same parents? :o)
No but we may have had the same car. 1960 Rambler American with the push button trans that slipped and then grabbed. I drove this POS my sophmore year and then traded it in on a 59 MGA, which had the same problems as the Rambler, but at least it looked cool.
