LOL @ "carbeque", Greg. Just rolls off the tongue.
The Pinto thing made me think of the vega I had as a kid. (teenager) It had an aluminum block and when ya shut the doors, the rust would make a metallic sprinkling sound as the rust hit the black top. One night I raced a buddy around an s curve. He was driving a really sweet Mustang that was the envy of us all. My tore up, old, rode hard and put up wet Vega was the victim of ridicule. But it handled amazingly well. After winning that race, she was thought of in much better regard.
I kept a rock in the back to beat the starter into life when needed. But she had a really cool stereo with an 8trac. I only had one tape and it got played so much that Crosby, Stills, Nash and some times Young developed Spanish accents.
