What got you hooked on A-Bodies anyway?

Growing up the janitor at my high school had a 73 swinger and to be honest it seemed like an ugly car to me at the time. When i was 15 i was looking at the paper every weekend looking for a smoking deal on an old mustang or falcon. Then a little 73 swinger with a slant six popped up for dirt cheap i pulled the trigger. That happened the weekend before thanks giving in 2005 so next weekend will be 12 years with it.
