It was also an enormous boat poorly sized for the narrow roads of rural PA. And with the black vinyl roof and black vinyl interior, it was sheer hell to get into on a hot, sunny summer day.
I had a '75 Toyota with manual windows, locks and a stick. Traded it in '84 when I finished school. Everything after, with the exception of the white Jeep, had power windows and locks. My last stick was a '91 Mazda RX7.
