i mostly get how come, but also at the car auction, when i got the car started, and drove it off, people were cheering, giving me thumbs up, and clapping and stuff, that was pretty cool. most people have had a pinto, or at least had fun in a pinto, its mostly just people are either just dont like admitting they like them, or are just to stubborn to get past their reputation. those are mostly the guys who buy a car for its looks, and nothing else, and to me that makes no sense, so o well, they have their ways, i have mine. but i bet my car gets more looks.
