My dad had an old ‘65 Corvair convertible that just died one day… he was so heartbroken that I think he just went to the dealership and bought the first thing he saw - which was a bright orange Ford Pinto with golf pants plaid interior. That was the car I was allowed to drive… which certainly explains my hunger for *any* ride cooler than The Great Pumpkin.

Our Pinto was the extended wagon version. White exterior with the fake wood paneling. Brown vinyl seats. It had replaced a avocado green Vega that was totaled while parked. Yes, really.
