22 caliber fetish

When I first got married I owned a Orange over white hatchback 73, 4 in the floor, mag wheels, MacPherson struts and orange shag carpet. It would drift like a jewel and corner like a beast, complete with 12,000 mile warranty. Warranty ran out in 7 months due to our T&D rally hobby. The back with the seat folded down held my 4 .222s, my 22-250, a Swift and 3 rifles from my buddy, along with ammo, snacks and cokes, The little 222s shot lights out on chucks and the car got really good gas milage ------ Funny no one ever tailgated me either.
 
There were two only 25 deaths in Pintos that involved fires in crashes and statistically you were just as safe in a Pinto as any other compact car of the era. News reporting seems to have been just as bad then as it is now.

Pinto, the evil black gun of the era
