Was it a Ford Pinto?I just bought the 2nd Ford I have ever owned in my 53+ years of auto ownership. A 10 year old compact with 45k miles on it. After 4 months of ownership, i am beginning to understand why it only had 45k miles!
Oh well, i needed a back up to my 17 year old Jeep…….

Lol, now that you mention it I wouldn't doubt if that is where my dad got that Pinto from. From a junk yard. One advantage at 17 years of age I didn't really care what I ran into with the pea green Pinto.Are there any Pintos not in a junk yard
Haven't seen one in literally ages

When I hear Ford Pinto, I immediately think of explosion. Weren't they known for exploding if getting hit in the back due to where the gas tank was located?Was it a Ford Pinto?
...........and oh, the car my dad bought for my sister 5yrs older prior to getting the Pinto was a Chevy Vega. Now, I say he did a good job of fixing it up and painting it, but is was a huge POS to.When I hear Ford Pinto, I immediately think of explosion.

True story, our dad bought a Ford Pinto for my older sister who was 2 yrs older. When I turned 16 that was what I drove until I quickly bought my first care for $550. When got my license, first thing I did was take the brown Pinto wagon with the bubble windows around town on my first solo ride. I literally got two block from home and got a flat tire & had to change that. Now, I realize the tire has nothing to do with the car but it's the curse of the Pinto.
Later on, my dad is a bigger guy and went to take the Pinto or move it and the front seat posts dropped right thru the floor of the car. Can't make this chit up.
