My first husband and I had only one car while I was in law school, and then, when I started working in Trenton (an hour away), we had to buy a second. Since I had the long commute, I had the "good" car ('80 Chevy Citation--another oldie), and he bought a Tercel that was apparently custom painted--I'm sure it didn't come off the assembly line in Orchid. Of course, I called it "pink" and he insisted it was "purple." Poor guy drove it for a couple of years until I got pregnant and we needed a sedan for the baby seat. I got the NEW Chevy Nova (my very first NEW car) and poor guy had to step up to the old Citation.
I still think it was more pink than purple, lol.
