Everything's relative. If we were making $110 a week, we were upper-middle-class.

I got your point.

And you used the wrong Mavericks.

Well, excuse me for not being old enough to be familiar with your Mavericks! miley-laughing001:

My high school car was a Maverick, Now, 34 years later, I'm back in a high school and driving Mavericks again.

I better steer clear of any students named Kathy.. that was another first and I don't need to repeat thoat too.

I remember it as Susan w/ a white Maverick that had dark red interior, overlooking the SF Bay near the Berkeley Marina... maybe the interior was burgundy, but it was definitely Susan. :-)

I seem to remember that it was Miss Bennett, in the Mustang, with a tire iron.

(P.S. Unless you want to go all the way back to Samuel Maverick, the origin of the name is a white German Shepherd named, ta-dum!, Maverick. That's right, after over a decade of cat names, this version is ultimately named after a dog, a dog who just wanted to go surfing. How, and why he was named Maverick is unknown; there isn't even a picture of him. Whether his preferred means of surfing was with Firefox is also unknown.)
