He bought it because he'd just graduated from OU and was about to get drafted, and he wanted my mom to have a reliable car. It turned out that the company that hired him got him a deferment, which was a good thing, as that GTO was, in his words, the biggest POS he ever owned. It excelled at leaving them stranded--it could pass anything but a gas station or a mile marker... Dad did not shed a single tear when he traded it off, and you couldn't give him another Pontiac or get him to talk to a Pontiac dealer thereafter (he had really bad experiences with the Pontiac dealerships where he tried to get help with that car, plus, IIRC, he said the dealer where he bought the car had rolled back the odometer).The first car I bought was a well-abused '78 T-Bird. It used almost as much oil as gasoline and the stereo I put in it cost as much as what I paid for the car itself, but I had a lot of fun in it. I still have it, although it has had many of its useful parts cannibalized for other vehicles over the years.</blockquote>
