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?
power power and power... back then, that just happened to mean gas guzzler gas guzzler gas guzzler....
