<p>lilmom, I’m in the Ford Pinto club with you! 1972 baby blue (though rusted out around the rear hatchback) with four on the floor. Got it my senior year in h.s. (79-80) to drive to school/work. Also had to drive my cousin to sch.</p>
<p>I was in DECA. We were released from school one period before everyone else to go to our afterschool jobs. There was no public transport in my tiny southern town. My Mom was a single parent and could not take me because she was at work.<br>
The Pinto cost less than $600.</p>
<p>S2 has a friend (college soph)who got a brand new Hummer before school started this year.
The friend’s younger brother (h.s. senior) also got a new car, a Mercedes.</p>
