[s-cars] NAC, and now no turbo content either

[Chad Clark]

Keith, I think I got ya beat on this one. Try this on for size: A 14 year
old, 175k mi. 1972 Mercury Montego Villager, no seatbelts(or hopefully they
were at least shoved down between the seats with the french fries/chewing
gum/change) Otherwise known as the family truckster, Brady Bunch mobile,
abortion on wheels. Green(rust) with fake decaying wood, green vinyl seats,
had to be at least 40 feet long. Had a 400ci motor though and RWD:-) Great
for winter driving in CO! Can you say oversteer? Even a Toyota Corolla was
cool compared to this piece.

So that's what I got to drive in '86 and get this, mom gets a brand new 5000
turbo same year. Makes you wonder what they were thinking putting me behind
the wheel of that car and as Ian said, I find no logic in how I survived in
that car, at that age, even if it was only for 6 months.

Chad
p.s. Beat that!
