Seriously? The Gas Cap Has A Real Unmodifiable Reason To Be On The Wrong Side?

...Man OG, I'd love to have a Monte Carlo in that condition now!

Oh I'd love it too! One day I was sitting in the driveway revving the engine like a teenage idiot when the timing chain failed in a most unpleasant way. I learned so much with that car. I learned not to rev an engine too high without a load on it and I learned how to rebuild that engine over the course of the summer. I learned what a speeding ticket was - more than once. Oh yeah - I also learned all sorts of wonderful things with my girlfriend in the backseat of that car. Ahhh...the memories....

This wouldn't be an issue if we had an Electric Elio, heh, heh, heh.

(totally trolling here, LOL).

But what side would the charger port be on???

Only 27 deaths, but how many irreparably damage egos of teenage boys. I had to drive my mom's lime green w/fake wood stickers on the side Pinto wagon to school the last three months of my sophomore year....never got over it. o_O

That was my Dad's car! It wasn't lime green more towards olive, but with a bit more green. I was in 9th grade at the time and when it came time to drive was given the "second" car to learn on and drive, it was a 1966 Dodge Dart 2 door, a nice dark blue (except where it wasn't). It seems to me he didn't keep the Pinto as long as he usually would, his next car was a burgandy Volare wagon, with the faux wood paneling. I guess he liked the wood look, maybe he wanted a "woody" when he was younger and this was as close as he could get.

WOW - I feel your pain! That's even worse than the yellow Pinto I had to drive. My buddy was constantly ribbing me about it. He stopped laughing the day his dad brought home a Pacer.

When I finally saved up enough to buy my first car it was a used '72 Monte Carlo. Now that was a car! The one pictured here was just like it and if I remember correctly the gas cap was behind the license plate.

That Is a Beautiful car.

I had a '73, I think, Light Blue, V-8, with dual. It was a dog on the get off, but when you got over 60/70, it really began to preform. It was the Best heavy car I have ever driven in the mountians, would stick to the road and handle like an over sized sports car. I Loved that car. Now, the rest of the story, I lost custidy of it in the big 'D', bought cried. After it was all over, I just dug more Gold out of the Shaft I was left with and bought a Datsun 260Z.
That Z car was the most personable car I ever had, could almost drive its self. It got me home safe many nights from places I shouldn't have been, before Daylight.
'Every car/bike I ever had, was the best car/bike I ever had, when I had it'lol

Now that's the spirit. We will get to 1000 posts yet. Well played.

Some posts back I posted all my cars had the gas cap on the right. Well Life has away of playing with us. I bought a new car on Friday and the gas cap is on the LEFT.

And a PINTO to boot! They died off in the '70s.
