Part of the problem though was my mother really didn't care to much about the car to begin with...it was a "trade-up" from a '74 Pinto. I guess, from her stand-point, the novelty wore off REAL FAST. (Gas prices and a fixed income...) Plus, the brothers left behind didn't really help her keep it in good shape. She'd still have this thing if I hadn't bought the Camry for her and that, in and of itself, is too scary to think about...
