I had an 8 track in my 1971 LeMans. During the summer of 1974, it started smoking and burned up my Jim Croce tape. I'd only had the 8 track for about a month. After swearing, and calling it a few choice names I decided to take it back to Zayre's (the local department store where I bought it). I didn't think I stood much of a chance of getting it replaced, because I didn't have a receipt. But sure enough they gave me a new one, which lasted for about three years. Years later, I sold the car to a young guy in town. He rewired it, put dual exhaust, fender flares and wide tires on, and gave it a new paint job. One day, I saw him drive up the Strickland Road, right by our house. I yelled, "Hey, there goes the Lemans!" A while later, I went outside to get the mail, and I noticed a black mushroom cloud about a mile up the road. Shortly after that, a couple of fire trucks went by, and about an hour later, a flatbed truck drove by... with the charred remains of my poor old Lemans.
