MY FIRST CAR WAS A 1974 MATADOR

My first car was a 1974 sports car called a Matador which was built by American Motors. It had a lot of power but, there was a problem with the electrical system. My dad did not like the noise the car made to warn people in the front seat to put on their seat belts. My dad had the warning noise disconnected and the car never ran quite right after that.

No one wore seat belts back then. Seat belts were confining and they made it hard to smoke, drink beer and, adjust your radio as you were driving along at 90 mph. Today all of these driving habits are considered unsafe and even illegal. A lot of dead rock stars and the dead teenagers that idolized the rockers would agree that the above driving habits are dangerous.
