It's the new 1970 Ford Pinto - a new frisky compact car to compete with the Japanese imports. How is it frisky you ask?

PLEASE tell me that we aren't going to see and Gremlins or Pacers lurking around Boomerville!
I guess the Pinto was supposed to be an economical, gas-saving spinoff of the Mustang . . . we never had one, but I remember them well.
Gremlins, Pacers, and Pinto - Oh my!
Gremlins, Pacers, and Pintos - Oh my!
They were all ugly little cars. I thought so back then. Nothing cool about them.
The first time I saw a Pacer I thought to myself, "That looks like something off the Jetsons!"
It seemed to me that there were a lot more Pintos around than the other American compacts.
Excuse me...Lay off the Gremlins.
Vicki and I wanted to buy one so bad when we first got married. It was a two toned blue and white Gremling with (get this) denim interior. I don't think it would have held up very well over the years but hey! we were young and stupid.

I guess with denim seat covers - you could always patch holes with old blue jeans.
Lay off the Gremlin?
Hey Guys....I still dream of having a Gremlin one day. Put some really fat rims on the car...super wide tires.....drop the suspension.....some hydraulics...LED white turn signal lights....a pale green or light blue with a white racing stripe....lots of chrome....brown leather interior......don't forget the window tint......
you think I'm joking.......
No Jose'...I don't think you're joking one bit.
