The first thing I did was superglue green and gold-flecked shag carpet onto the dashboard. (Um, with an "accent" piece of carpet on the gear shift. Gay.) One 8-track player and ten Parliament/Funkadelic tapes later and that baby took me through my senior year in college. I named her "Loretta", which I told people was after Loretta Lynn, but was more because I liked the alliteration of Loretta Lemans. In the following years I had Renee Renault, Lola Corolla, Joan Jetta, and Jane Honda.
