Hmmmm...  I had bought a Pontiac LeMans for $50 in Oxnard when I was in the 
navy airdales back in '73, the year I got out.  All I had to do to it was put 
the radiator and fenders back on and pray it started.  Splurged on an 8 track 
and listened to my one tape, Neal Young's Heart of Gold album, all the way home 
and back to Ukiah for a number of trips.  Should hate it by now, but don't.  
Only the White Album is better.

Started college in September of '73, the LeMans threw a rod, and I found myself 
in heaven, shopping for a car and finding a '68 MBG with 40k miles for $950.  
Wish I'd had the money to change the oil back then, or I might still have it 
today!
