Facts are Facts? That is your OPINION. Mavericks were the cheapest cars around, "throw-away" if you will. My dad had a 120,000 mile Pinto, and he wasn't it's final owner, either. Mustang II's were alost alike, and I've seen them hit 200k. Besides, it's rude and disrespectful to tell people something they like SUCKS. If you don't like Pintos, then that's fine. You don't have to. Just keep it to yourself. This board is to help people, not tick them off. -CP
: Sorry if you're offended but facts are FACTS. I guarentee you'll NEVER get 100,000 miles out of it. Pintos were "throw-away" cars JUST LIKE the Yugo...

: : Now hang on a sec, as the second owner of a 60000 mile, original, 78 Pinto, I was offened. Its not the greatest car in the world, but it isn't a ho hum one either. A ho hum one would be more on the lines of a Yugo or something. A Pinto is the little brother of the Mav besides. Not looking for an argument, just a little respect for my Mav's bretheren. Alright?
