I remember my first car, a beige push-button automatic Valiant. I had $1200 and I had to choose between the beige Valiant and a baby blue Pontiac Parisienne with a white convertible top. I chose the Valiant because I knew I could never afford the gas for the Pontiac...did I mention it had a white convertible top?
I made $65 a week back then and by the time I paid for gas and my insurance, I hardly had any money left to go anyplace anyway.
Thanks for the memory jolt, Cats.
