No gremlins here. My parents had a Ford Pinto station wagon I had to drive untill I bought my first car for $900. A 1972 Opel Manta. Looked just like below, except mine was blue!!
Crager looking rims were stock. 1.9 liter 4 banger that got a whopping 100 hp. Fast car. I had a 8-track portable stereo that I put in the back seat. It took up all of it too! Until i got a cassette stereo in it. Then I would put my home stereo speakers into the back. What a great sounding car. And all I listened to back then was Rush (The group, not Mr. Limbaugh). I loved that car.

FUNNY STORY. A friends Dad told him he would get him a new car his choice (with a reasonable price) if he pulled up his GPA, Pat (my Bud) lived up to his end and told his Dad he wanted a Grand National. His dad, exited about the high GPA and the choice of a Buick said OK. ALL WAS well until Papa got the insurance! You guys rember the Grand Nationals of the mid 80's? THEY WERE FAST! The only happy moment for his Pop. Pat wrecked it. He bought him a Mazda with a "little" less kick! That GN was a FUN car! I once opened it up so fast I got tunnel vision! Things whip by so fast the ONLY clear spots you see are straight ahead and a area in the rearview scary, but it was a rush!

1972? (I think) Pontiac Astre. Orange
Blew the head in it twice.
For driver's ed I drove a Camaro. Was spitting gravel in the school parking lot when I first took off in it.
My second car was one of those Ford Fiesta's. Ford imported them from their German plant to replace the Pinto when it was taken off the market.
The first car I drove regularly was one of those big boat Ford LTD stationwagons. My dad's car.

I had a 1989 Ford Mustang Hatchback electric blue.
Man I loved that car... I cried for a week straight when my husband traded it in. It was the greatest car. It taght me lots of lessons. Like:
1.) if your muffler falls off while driving down the road you can not pull over and pick it up with your bare hands.
2.)Duct tape will not hold a muffler on but wire coat hangers will.
3.)Putting pennies in the electric cigerette lighter will blow a fuse (my ex-boyfriend did that)
4.) stars look brighter when you lay in the back with the hatchback up
5.) Nothing compares like your first car.
6.) the heart longing for your first car NEVER goes away.

OK, let me reiterate. I had a piece of JUNK known as the Ford Pinto. Therefore, there are various elements above that I just cannot agree with.
1) Yep. But it's so much cooler if it just sort of drops and drags along behind you. You keep wondering, "What's that sound?"
2) Yep. Been there, done that! Worked like a charm!
3) N/A
4) Never had a hatch.
5) This may be true, but only because nothing was quite the hunk of junk that Pinto was. The back seat collapsed the first time someone sat in it. The trunk leaved. It burned oil like an Iraq oil field. It had Kraco speakers. Nuff said.
6) That longing turned out to be indigestion, and it went away once I "moved up" to the Dodge Aspen. I do have a scar on my chin from one of the two accidents the Pinto suffered, when the windshield exploded; that scar didn't go away.
Just kidding with you, Honor. We Georgia folks have to stick together. If I had a Mustang for my first car, I'd probably have been happy too.
Instead, I get a Pinto.
