After the Duster, I got a 76 Trans-Am 455 4 gear. At the time i also had a Kawasaki KZ-1000 Z1-R and a Merc 440 Sno-Twister. Insurance for all 3 was just under $400 a year. Those were the good old days...

Green certainly isn’t a car colour you see much of these days. It was quite popular in the 60‘s and 70’s. My mustang was a pale green colour with matching interior. Orange is another colour that was common in those days.

1st vehicle I purchased that was actually mine, and not already in the family, '97 Dodge Ram. Was running well until I had an "uncontrolled thermal event" under the hood. Fixed it all up and still managed to get 497K on it before it got retired. Prior to that was rolling around in an older 3/4 ton GM Diesel, and before that a Pontiac Accadian.
drove 1978 Honda civic.. when I pulled in gas bar it was fill oil and check gas.. Never a bug problem around my car. LMAO
78 Civic.... If you rode in the front passenger seat... you could stick your foot under the dash and push the rod connecting the brake master cylinder. Us to do that to a friend of mine...every time he pushed in the clutch, I'd apply the brakes. He had his dad look at that car may 10 or 12 times and his dad kept giving him crap, telling him there's nothing wrong with the car and he must be hitting the brakes at the same time.
I told his dad a couple of years later. He said he had it figured out but loved the fact he could poke at his sons driving.
How many know what this is? You have to be my age or older to know....

Actually, if it is an even older model car, that could be the floor mounted starter button!! 71 years young last month!

My first car in Canada was 99 Dodge Caravan Silver.. bought it for $900 with 128k clicks on it. Drove until 278k clicks and sold for $500. I still remember its fuel pump was not working properly, took it to the mechanic he quoted $200 something, too much for me. he said the only cheap way when it doesn't start hit the gas tank with the stick underneath 2-3 times and it will start. No wonder it worked many times. I was so happy to save $200.
