That would have been a Mercury Comet.
The rust didn't care though😉
I owned two of those bad boys. The first was my first car. The second was many years later for a p issed off wife since I had just bought a new motorcycle.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

I liked the first generation of the Comet. When it came back as an "upscale" Maverick, not so much.

Correct; it was a Mercury and it was a rust bucket. One of my least memorable cars. It wasn't pretty but it did get me to work and back for a couple months -

Astounding!
A Fifth of American Adults Can’t Read
48 million adults in the U.S. read at or below the third-grade level. Some educators think it’s not possible to teach them. They’re wrong.

This issue has so many layers to it, none of which will be solved by another “government program”, or “more government funding”.
We are now reaping the fruits of two generations of kids raised in a high percentage of single-parent households. The bulk of these kids were raised by TV, and even worse now, the internet. Further, failing schools have responded by lowering their standards (relax, I’m not blaming all teachers - just the unions and school boards). And to make matters even worse, the schools celebrate mediocrity, for fear of “hurting the children’s feelings” by telling them they are failing.
English class 40-50 years ago was about nouns & verbs, sentence structure, paragraph breaks, punctuation and just plain COMMUNICATION via the English language. Now kids watch the Romeo & Juliet movie, sit while the teacher reads to them, etc.
In short, it’s not about money - it’s about standards, parental involvement and the basics.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”
