Ahhh the pinto.....
I have fond (but scary too) memories of riding in my sister's car when I was 8, with my brother driving in front of us, seeing him take a sharp turn way to fast, losing control of it, sliding down a slick hillside, as he jumped out before it slammed ass-first into a humongous tree, then exploding into a glorious, mushroom-cloud-worthy fireball...
Fortunately he was not hurt other than some cuts, scrapes & bruises.....
Ah, those were the days !
FYI, he did almost the same thing a few years later with an AMC Gremlin, with almost the same result, but I was not there to see it....
Then he somehow managed to acquire a Boss 302 Mustang, dropped a 351 Windsor & lower-geared rear end into it, and suddenly started driving like he had some sense...well, except for the extra wide Mickey Thompson tires and Cragar SS Mags anyways....
