My first wheels

I had a 1980 Pinto. It was kind of burgundy red brownish with matching vinyl interior. It was nick named "Chief" because there was a chief auto parts down the block I was always at getting parts for it. I took it to the Olympic Auditorium and Fender's Ballroom many times for punk gigs crammed full with my pals. When I started to paint again as an adult my first painting was "Shit Devils Pinto" an homage to the past. I found these images to give you an idea how stylish this ride was. I miss that rack and pinion steering. It was a pretty smooth ride when it was running. Lately I have been missing that ride now and then. It was fun to drive...
