We had so much fun in that and was devasted when it through a rod. The greatest memory was that you had SONIC monkey and colored plastic animals all around the visors of that car and I loved it!!! We loved going to Sonic all of us girls piled in your car. Much simplier times and YES I worry cause The Roads are much more crowded nowdays and more crazy drivers then we ever thought about, we only had a few redlights. And now it's like our kids driving in Arlington! No matter how safe they are, we are MOMS and worry!!! Good times for SURE!

When I did I had more kids in that car than the manufacturer would approve. It also died of an oil malfunction but my thrifty father put a new engine in it and I drove it another 6 or 7 years. After it had been parked for a year someone else came along and asked to buy it. It was truly vintage and worn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-11467444737675256892011-04-07T07:12:53.424-05:002011-04-07T07:12:53.424-05:00Fun memories and that was such a fun little car! ...Fun memories and that was such a fun little car!
