Loved the story. Reminds me of my first car an '85 Ford Escort Pony. When your done laughing, read on. That car was like the clown car from the circus. Put the back seat down and you could put anything back there; and I did. Kenwood stereo system complete with cabinet and of course a pair of 975 speakers, a 30" TV (the old kind not these skinny things hanging on a wall). That car moved all my worldly possessions,in one trip, during my batchelor life and on into my married life. Do you have any idea how much stuff a child needs for a day trip to your in-laws? Yep, that Escort moved it with ease, started every time, went everywhere and till it became too rusty to drive in 2005 with 150,000+ miles still averaged almost 30 mpg.
