I know most of you probably don't have a myspace account, but I do. And if you're kids or whomever you know has one, I've started a group called XCore Pinto Lovers.
It's mainly for the people I know, but it was created to tell people of my Pinto adventures.
Like my famous one:
When I first got my 1979 Pinto, the guy I got it from had bondo everywhere, on the dash covered with duct tape, even on the radiator. And one day because of the bondo-covered hole in the radiator, she started to overheat and the engine light came on, so I pulled over. I had the hood up and I was bent over the engine bay making sure that was all that was wrong, and all I can hear is honking and some guy at the stop light yelling that it's such a nice car and for me to take care of it then drives off. Irony?
A while ago I was driving down a very busy 6 lane highway going to work and some guy in a big white truck half hangs out of his truck and yells into my passenger window something I couldn't really understand because I was too worried about him running into me or causing an accident.
It wasn't funny at the time, but when I was telling the other waitresses it became the joke of the month. This happens all the time now, especially from truckers. Now that's scary.
The first and only time I've taken Jackie to the Citrus County Speedway was with my best friend and her guy, and my sister. We pulled into the parking lot and they can vouch for me, I didn't even stop, put it in park, or get out before some guy starts pointing and saying something. \
When we got out we asked him what he said, and it made my night. He said he never thought he'd see a Pinto out here, he thought they were all on the track.
