Your First Car!

My first car was a beaut! 1978 Plymouth Volare. Hadn't seen water outside of rain in years and the paint was spiderwebbed from front to back. The inline 6 wouldn't idle so you had to put it in neutral or park at stop lights. Well, it would idle, but only after it overheated and you turned it off. It would idle for about 15 minutes with the key off and out of it. The back floor had a piece of plywood over the 12" hole. The horn cover was gone and the horn wires would spark on the metal of the steering wheel. You could take the top of the dash off and set in your lap to write checks (remember those?). Every inch of the engine compartment was covered with oil and driving on the interstate meant waiting for it to cool down so you could put water in it again. It once went so long with a passenger's side windshield wiper there was a groove worn into the glass from the wiper arm. It came with carpet but I don't think there was a bit of it left when I got it. To be fair it did get me to Florida and back once or twice, and back to Florida again before it finally bit the dust. It even served as my home for a short time.

I don't miss that POS one bit.

ROFLMAO..... Lager, that is about the funniest post I've read on here in a long time.....
