Did you own a pinto???
Yep, I had one.
Paid $100 for it because that was all the money I had at the time and needed a car.
What's yer point?
My mother traded in a big Buick for one during Carter's Stagflation/Oil Crisis. Shortly after getting the gas tank shield she hit by a van on the way to work. God was watching over her.
When she was able to work again, she got a Caprice with a slant six. It wasn't much bigger, but it had a sturdier design.
AAaahhh...Pintos....I tell ya. I have a pic that’s an over head shot of a house my hubby and I lived in on the Snoqualmie River (Washington State) back in the eighties. At the time, we had a Pinto graveyard, and I was driving a
Pinto station wagon! The shot shows not only his 68 Camaro, and his 64 snub nosed Chevy van, but also FOUR other Pinto hatchbacks, and my stationwagon.
