About “Meatball”
This was my first stick shift car. I learned on this one. It was so cool looking and freshly painted. I sold this to an 18yr old boy so I could buy my Daytona. Two weeks later I found out that he had totalled it while pulling out of his driveway.
Darn shame, because this was a nice car.
About “Laura”
Ive owned this escort for about 2 years now and loved every sec of it! This has been one HELL of a car. Its reliable, great looking, and 200% better thn the other cars ive owned. I definetly would have bought one of these cars brand new.
