My first car was a 57 Chevy, bought it at the Newport News abandoned car auction for $52. What a POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Floors rusted out Bad.
Some checken wire, newspaper and bondo.
No oil to the rocker arms.
Crap, just slap some axle grease all over them
Not enough money to buy a battery.
Ah just jump it and hold THE CABLES TOGETHER!!!!!! Hmmmm small problem, all the light bulbs turned into flash bulbs and blew out. Spent a few days in the junk yard buying USED light bulbs, but I learned to never hold the battery termianls together.
Ah no gas guage since battery termninal issue.
Learn to coast yer arse off and carry a gallon the the trunk, hoping it did not fall through the rusty arse floor!!!!!
This is not a tale, it is factually accurate. Hope you ain't drinking any soda while reading this story.
That car was not even 10 years old when I got it. Now the average car is older than that, and in a heck of a lot better shape!
