80's Red Mercury Capri

 Saw this interior shot on the web that brought back the memories.

80ish Mercury Capri, 4 Cyl Automatic

My Memory:

I think this was the car that Mom Jane picked out for herself while Dad was in Africa?

The flashback was my first ticket. Worked a long shift at Plainfield Meijer bottle return,  and got the ticket from an officer coming out of Fred's Pizza. He said I was doing 55 but he would only write me up for 54.

I could almost swear that there is no way that car could have gotten up to that speed in that short of a distance. She looked pretty,  but that 4 auto was really slow to accelerate.

I also think I had my first date in that car. Brought along my cassette player. Went to Peaches. She got out of the car before it came to a complete stop.
