This was the car Greg and I shared.

I took mine in one of these, a '76 nova. Had a 305 V8 and ran like a bat out of hell. It was my dad's car.

Greg and My car's bumper was probably heavier that a Yugo. It fell off one day while we were en route to an ambulance call. We thought a bomb exploded on it.

ah....me too, maybe even same year. same darn fugly color. What a freaking boat. The power stearing would go out sometimes on ours. But we were happy to have it. No kidding for years, we were a one vehicle family--and that one vehicle went to work with my dad. (work was 3 blocks away  . the nearest grocery store was 2 miles) This car was shared among my mom and any child that had a drivers license.
