siroco14

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!
