Those "other" cars

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

I owned a Pinto once. Yeah, not a Volkswagen but it was the best damned car
I've ever owned bar none. It was the one and only new car for me, way back
in my young and stupid days. It was a 1972 puke green hatch back that I
bought for $2300.00 NEW. Drove it for four years and 90 thousand miles, put
one set of tires on it and changed the oil twice. Traded it in on something
(can't remember what now) and got $3200.00 for it. Yep, the best damned car
I've ever owned and the last Ford.
