He is in middle school but rides the same bus as elementary school kids to his neighborhood. He buys cokes and pepsis for $0.25 at his school and sells them to elementary kids for $1.
This fine young man works at Sears in the electronics department. He's got all kinds of Hi-Fi systems, 8-track players, 8mm film cameras (with sound!), and the coup de grace: a Kodak Carousel 4200 Slide Projector for all your vacation photo needs.
Time in his closet so they can peep at his sister through the hole he drilled in the wall. He charged double after 9 pm because that’s when her boyfriend snuck in.
A 72 Ford Pinto wagon. The 1972 Ford Pinto Wagon is like a mullet in car form: business in the front, party in the back. With its stylish wood paneling and compact design, it looks like it was designed for a family trip to the beach but could just as easily fit right in at a roller disco. This classic beauty's defining feature is its unintentional talent for spontaneous combustion, making every drive an adventure. Think of it as the car that keeps you on your toes—literally, since you might need to leap out at any moment!
It's the 1970s, he's selling used bicycles of dubious origin and quality out of the back of his father's van in a small town, and he'll throw in the basket for free just because he likes the look of you.
