Now that I am eyeballing for some new wheels, it's time to look back, way back, back into time...
First, a little prehistory, when I was young, before my parents divorced, they owned a Silver 1976 Chevy Pick up truck, I believe it was a 1500, & a pale yellow 1976 Chevy Nova. Then my mother owning the following: 1985 Dodge Aries, 1992 Chevy Corsica, 2006 Kia Spectra, & currently a 2008 Kia Optima. I drove every one.
Now, for my very own car fist car, I dubbed her "the Golden Nugget", a 1987 Pontiac Sunbird Turbo. I called it the Golden Nugget not because she was nice, but simply because she was gold, she lasted only 2 weeks, the diver side door wouldn't lock, the radio presets would erased anytime you turned the care off, & don't think the oil had been changed since 1987, the oil cap was wired shut.
Then she died on me, in the middle of the road, I had to push her into a gas station parking lot, there was an incline & she almost rolled back into traffic. Anyway, one of her pistons cracked, to repair it would have cost triple what I paid for it, ($125). I'm still waiting to get my money back.
Next time, something a little nicer.
