Dumb stories ,about your first car...

First car was a 69 caprice I bought for $10. I got it that cheep because half the engine was in the trunk! My mom thought it would be safe. LOL There was rust in the cylinders and the tops of the pistons were badly corroded. My dad and I cleaned it up ( the rust pits in the cylinders were nearly 1/8" deep and the top of 2 pistons were eaten about 1/4" deep!) we got it running with minimal machine work and new gaskets. (no new hard parts other than bearings) I beat the snot out of that poor car. It never ran that good, but it ran!
