@TechBean@mstdn.social My first car was a 1976 Ford Pinto station wagon that I bought from my cousin. It sat for over a year before I got my license and could drive it anywhere other than start it and sneak to the corner store and back. lol.

I remember driving it to school for the first time... December 17th, 1987. I was excited and embarrassed at the same time. LOL

It was cold that day, like low 20F. The heater fan blew good but it took forever, or so it seemed, to eat up. Light snow was falling so I had to argue to be able to drive.
