My first car was a 68 gray T-Bird with black leather interior. It was a fast beauty with a 428 Thunderjet engine and a total chic magnet.

Only 7 months later though, my Dad traded it in on a 70 Maverick. He warned me that if I did not quit burning so much gas , he would get rid of it (it got 7 to 8 miles to the gallon and since I worked for him at one of his gas stations and on the farm, he paid my gas bill). One day, without telling me what he was up to, he asked if he could "borrow my car". My mother picked me up from basketball practice that night in the Maverick. When I asked whose car she was driving, she said, "Yours. Your Dad warned you he would get rid of the Thunderbird if you didn't slow down on the gas bill and today he did. You should have listened to him. Maybe now you will learn."

I loved that T-Bird and used to wash and wax it every weekend. I never waxed the Maverick even once and I had it for 7 years. It's not that it was a terrible car or anything. It was just the disappointment of it all. lol.
