The State Patrol/Department of Public Safety has posted details of the seizure of this car in Koochiching County this week.
It’s a Ford Pinto, which should have been enough justification to impound it and cite the driver for unsafe equipment.
But the spare tire and gas can rigged to the engine was a dead giveaway…
Not to mention — although I’m about to — the rusted out floor…
We don’t know the circumstances surrounding why the driver had to drive this car, but unless there was an unnatural love between a person and a Pinto, it can certainly be assumed that the answer is this is the car the person could afford.
On a day in which big charts and data are explaining a bad economy, this might be the best illustration of all.
