I got rid of the Rambler when the front wheel fell off.
I bought a 57 Plymouth Fury (which moved me into the almost cool crowd) and then I ended up in my senior year with a 59 MGA (which immediately moved me into the really cool category).
The MGA was about as reliable as a two dollar trumpet, but it was cool, and that was more important than whether or not it actually ran.
I was driving home from the hospital about 2 weeks ago, and there in a used lot off on the left was a prime condition green MGB. Beautiful car. If I had stopped the wife would have killed me....I would not have walked away. LOL.
