The Plymouth Colt My Mother Had

My mom has owned this car since new and has replaced very little. She took it off the road two years ago and I am driving it now that I have turned sixteen. This car is extremely basic (no air, cruise, cassette, power steering or even a cigarette lighter), but I have great plans on fixing it up (CD Player, wheels and other Plymouth parts.)

The 1.5 liter, 4 cylinder engine is very powerful for being so small. The gas mileage is excellent and I'll never have to worry about it leaving me stranded. The only time the car ever stalled was on our way from NY to Maryland. Everything died including the engine, indicator lights, radio, etc. We let it set for a minute and it started right back up and hasn't done it since. It's been a great car and I plan to keep it all through high school and college.
