How about the Vega? It was the first car in which iron ore was just ground up and pressed into panels instead of wasting time refining the iron, making steel and having to wait for it rust.
My friend had a Vega. Aluminum block, and a pooch. In the Winter before the engine had time to fully warm up, you could have the accelerator pedal mashed to the floor and not do over 35mph. It was awful.
I pulled a Bill Clinton in the hatchback of my ‘76 “Spirit of America” Vega on an isolated beach on the big lake outside my hometown.
My first and her first too.
But there wadn’t no astroturf back there, and that fold-down rear seat made for a big sharp bump.
Not too proud of that one, for her sake, definitely.
It was a good little car, to paraphrase the great man, but I guess I wasn’t so good when I was in it.
My high school boyfriend had a Chevy Vega
Yeah, they sucked in the 1970’s as did my high school boyfriend. Are there any still in existence??
