He put 150K miles on it before it died.

7. I had a Pinto and I loved it.
Great little car. Except for that gas-tank explosion thing. Never had that problem with mine.

8. I drove the hell out of a Mercury Bobcat, essentially the same car.
And yeah, it was a terrific little car when it wasn't exploding in a giant ball of flame.

12. The Corvair was only trained to roll over--not explode :)

Or any Toyota from the 70's, or '70's VW Rabbit, with rust in the structure. They literally disintegrate when rear-ended.
