:facepalm:OK, it's a bit embarrassing! A 1975 Ford Pinto, dents, rust. The one with the explosive gas tank. It belched clouds of blue smoke and flooded-out, so, although an automatic, had to be driven like a standard minus the clutch pedal. Paid $350 hard-earned 1980 dollars for it! Next was a 1981 Chevette in 1986. Laugh all you'd like. Add studded snows, tire-chains, a waters circulating block-heater and new brakes and exhaust pipe every April, and it did great in the snow and sub-zero weather of Lewis, Jefferson, St. Lawrence Counties, New York. Sold the Chevette for $400. Still running at 235,000 miles. I still have an air-filter, oil filters, and tire chains for the Chevette if there are any CI posters looking for them!
