Mon, I love to hear about people owning mid-seventies cars. They were crap, but I had a few before I was able to buy something above that range (because they were old by the time I started driving), so I feel kind of nostalgic hearing about things like Mavericks, Volares, Colts, Vegas, Pintos, Fairmonts, Hornets, and so on. My first car was a 77 Mercury Monarch, with wire hubcaps, 200 CI engine, landau top, 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive. It was slow, handling was terrible, and it acted as a birth control device (no chance of conception if you never get laid). Ah, what were those car designers thinking back in the seventies?
