When car shopping for my 2nd car I tried to get one of those midgets and Dad said NO. Then tried a Fiat 124, got a no on that one too.

Then Treasurer where I work now had a nice Monte Carlo with a 400 for sale. Wanted it and he refused to sell it to me. Instead he tried to get me to buy his son's Skylark. The steering was horrible, like every other Buick you could turn the wheel 5 inches and nothing happened.

Went to a bunch of car lots with Dad. He said no to 2 Camaros I liked. Finally he let me buy the 2 door Satellite Sebring plus with the 383.

Kind of interesting I later bought that Monte Carlo from the guy he sold it to that also worked where I did. Took the 400 out, rebuilt it and put it in my GMC Jimmy. Sold the car sans motor, and the 305 from the Jimmy and made enough money to get back what I spent on the Monte Carlo and pay for the motor rebuilding and hot rod stuff for the Jimmy.
