Title: First Pinto Sighting!!!!
Post by: pintogirl on January 18, 2009, 08:50:31 PM
Today at around 5.30ish pm, hubby and I spotted a yellow sedan Pinto going down Watt Ave. at El Camino. Sacramento CA. It was my first Pinto sighting!!! Well I should say first sighting of one actually driving down the road. I also saw a white one on HWY 174 parked at a saw mill of some sort!!!

I was so shocked to see one driving down the road though. I can't remember the last time I have seen one!!!!! Was it anybody here? How bout the white sedan in the saw mill, anybody???

Me three!! I get that same thrill. The only one I see around here is owned by a big old jerk who is not worthy of the car. He smashed in the grille & does not take care of it. When I worked for Advance Auto he told me he hates the car & only drives it because he was too lazy to fix his Lincoln.

Well ,
After reading your post, I had to see if mine was still parked in the garage. Seriously, mine is a '72 hatch race car in the "Neonic" yellow green. The trans and clutch are out and the fuel system is removed for "upgrades". There is a White 71 or 72 Half hatch  with Capri wheels that is a employee at Folsom Lake Ford or in the Auto Mall.
I also saw a similar car in Fair Oaks near F.O. Blvd at Madison that would drive by my old address regularly, with an elderly lady at the wheel. They are out there, and we should cherish them ALL!
If I can get the funds to finish mine,I'll register it just to help my daily enthusiasm for life and the laws of physics!

Pintosopher,

Yes, I have some Beans! I'll not rest until the Pinto Beans that we all desire are dealt some respect and Atonement! ( This Message sponsored By BEANO )  ;D

I think that big mean guy should be relieved of that poor Pinto.  >:( Anybody who hates a Pinto should not have one. I have spoken.  ;)
