Her and another girl signed up as the only two girls in the Washington D.C. Little League. Her friend quit after the first week but my wife stayed the whole season, despite all the animosity. by DistantKarma
She played association softball for a few years when she was younger in the 90s, but the way it's structured with A and B teams, if you're not really good, you won't have a good time.

GM 400 cu motor. You could only get the "TA 6.6" until 12/31/79, as EPA outlawed the motor after that date.

Automatic. It was way too much car for me when I got my license a couple years later. I got a ticket for going 77 mph in a 45 zone at age 16.

He broke my heart and gave it to my older sister like 4 years later. It wound up being traded in a few years after that.

I loved those blue ones too. I was slightly disappointed when my dad bought this one without a T-Top, but he said he got some kind of deal on it because it didn't have one.

As soon as that episode aired I told my wife there was no way it was the crock pot and that my money is on Miguel starting the fire in a high stakes bid to wind up with Rebecca. She got so annoyed with me playing it up every time Miguel was on screen that she finally told me to knock it off. I REALLY wish this dark idea could have been part of the series tho.
