High School Cars

'70 Ford Maverick. Puke green with black vinyl seats. Man could that thing fly! It had so much torque that the front of the car would yaw whenever you floored it. The heater was busted (which sucked in Michigan), there was no AC (which sucked in Michigan), there was no radio, and the battery drained every time it rained but I don't think I ever lost in a street race in that beast. Sadly it was lost in a flood only to be replaced by, ta-da!, a '72 Maverick.

And, yes, it's strange to see all the shiny new cars kids drive these days. I don't think I've ever seen a teenager working on a car in my neighborhood whereas when I was a kid that's all anybody did.
