Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

Wait? Now you do? Well alrighty then...

 

I'm 41 and knew that. My parents owned a Pinto and I remember them fixing a door hinge with haywire to drive that thing to the scrapyard. What a POS.

I bought a Pinto wagon back in '76....A stone got between the gas tank and the floor and wore a hole in the top of the tank. Whenever I filled it up to the top it would leak out! A little JB weld and I was good to go.
Actually, I put 140k miles on that car. It was easy to fix and not bad for what it was.

EFF THAT!!!

 

From what I understand, that's preferable to when their drivers can actually get a vehicle hauling.
Pretty much free-for-all driving.

 

...and those of us in NYC thought getting into the Holland tunnel was bad.

 

Do they only sell white cars there, WTF ?

 

No wonder they all come here and buy gas stations.

 

Paging Chaotic.....

 

I see uppercuts in your future...
