I called my parents Citation, The dominoe effect car. Once you got one thing fixed, it wouldn’t be a week until something else went wrong.
And my mother almost died in a Chevette from a crash that wasn’t going more than 15 mph. She ended up practically under the hood. She never would get into anything else like that and drove a Olds Cutlass until she passed away a few years back.
My first da of owning an 80 Chevy Citation, I was driving home from work on a rainy day on Delaware avenue in Philly. I applied the brakes at a busy intersection as the light turned yellow. It hydroplaned neatly through the intersection. To give it credit (or me) it went perfectly straight. At 80,000 the seals went on the 4 cylinder.
