2. Sentimental Value

Some of my very first memories are my dad driving me around in his black Ford Maverick. It was a piece of junk, but it's what my folks could afford when they were young and just starting out.

3. That is one ugly car...but still more relevant than McCain.

[Mist]

4. The 70s were not the high-point of car design. Most cars at that time were fugly. nt

11. I am having flashbacks to my mother's nineteen seventy

something Ford station wagon. Powder blue and simulated wood paneling with what I believe were wire spoke hub caps. I was embarrassed to ride in it even back then.

6. Huh, I think it's great looking!

Beats this one

9. Can't agree on the Maverick but that orange abomination

you just posted looks like the demon spawn resulting from a three way between a PT Cruiser, Honda Element and a Hummer. Yikes.

10. Why would you put wheels on a toaster?

7. My first car, in 1984, was a $400 1974 4-door Maverick

I liked it ... got me where I needed.

14. I Had a Friend with One of Those

do you remember what gas milage you got?

[zbdent]

15. didn't really pay attention at the time.

Used it to get back and forth to work, about 10 away. Not a lot of fun runnin ...

Lasted to 1987 - in Ohio (got me from Pennsylvania ...)

8. My father had a maverick

and it was the worst car he ever owned! He got rid of it as fast as he could and he usually kept his cars for several years. The gas shortage of the 1970's was the reason he traded in his Buick LeSabre for that piece of junk and he never bought another Ford vehicle again.

13. Now that car had some COJONES

Granted, it got like 4-5 mpg but dammit it could haul ass...
