So, who else has owned a Pinto? I had a '74, 4 on the floor 6 cylinder beast!! I would like to say I ran the wheels off of it, but I grenaded the clutch (my first clutch replacement) then I managed to puncture the oil pan at Lake Cushman (unknown to me), I drove back home and then over to my then girlfriend, now wifes house. After I left her place I was headed home, which has several really long hills, I started losing power on the second heill, managed to make it to the top before things went really south. I coasted to the bottom and as I came to a stop I sensed I was in trouble. The motor was quite seized up, I checked the oil and the stick was dry, which didnt make sense, I had checked the oil that Morning. I looked under the car and I saw this wet streak. She was done. My next car was even more memorable, an AMC Ambasador with the much famed 360, the trunk was the size of Rhode Island and the back seat was bigger then my first apartment. First car I ever (no, not that) did a 100 mph in. It was a nice shade of green, beat the heck out of the yellow Pinto.
