I drove a $150 72 Pontiac Catalina to Texas and back from Michigan.

If my Ford Exloder is too much of a hassle to be fixed, I'm considering buying a 1985 Olds Cutlass Ciera in good shape. Should save gas, it has the 4 cyklider GM Iron Duke, only 90 hp, but I'm not out to win Daytona either. Betwee that and the Leaf, Oldsmobile wins hands down.

BTW, when I was little, we had a 1973 Pontiac Catalina.

Beautiful car. How much did you spend keeping it in that shape? Did you ever get more than 15 miles per gallon?

My first car was a 1968 Chevy Impala. I paid $500 for it in 1974. Drove it everywhere for four years and kept it in great shape. Then, I got an overseas assignment and sold it to my kid brother. It was ready for the junkyard six months later. You look at Impalas today and they almost fit under the hoods of the originals. I beleive tha Catalina was Pontiac's equivalent. Mine was just a slightly lighter shade of blue. I had a 327 engine in mine. What did you have in yours?

What I like about a car like that a man can merge anytime he wants,ditches full of compacts.
