Vega sucked.

In 1972 I went to look at a new Vega, and I got in the car, but before the salesman had even gotten situated, I told him, “no way”, this is too cheesy to even bother with this test drive.

First car ?

1974 Vega, was about to drop an all aluminum V-8 motor into it when I was T-boned in an intersection, oddly enough, by another Vega. The car was totaled.

Next car,

1972 Pinto.

Just a temporary car until I got my 1974 pinto Wagon.

I beat the crap out of that car and recall laying on my back with the transmission on my chest while replacing the clutch disk. And having to do it again since I put it in backwards the first time.

Vega’s didn’t hold up well to even slow crashes.

Be sure to bring plenty of oil with you.
