We are now "proud" owners of a 1981 Ford Mustang LOL

Yep, that's right, a $400, 4 cylinder, 4 passenger car that is 26 years old. It is the replacement for our newer 5 passenger truck that got wrecked and 8 passenger van that has electrical prolems and won't run. It is white with a red interior and is actually in fairly decent shape considering. The brakes are hard and it doesn't idle right. The pins are worn out on the driver's door so we have to lift up on it to get it to shut which is impossible for me once I'm in it so instead I just climb in the window LOL. It can go a whopping 30mph on hills but it did manage 65mph on a LONG straight stretch of highway. It is the same body style that we've used to build race cars with so our 2 year old thinks it's a new race car! I'm not really complining though because it is WAY better than not having a car at all. It's just a tiny bit embarrassing to go back to driving something like that after finally having nicer vehicles....I know my parents will NOT be impressed, but then again they never will be no matter what I do. So I just wanted to share that with you all and find out if any of you had interesting/embarrassing car stories to share. I could sure use some reassurance that I'm not the only one that could actually be happy to get a car like this... :)
