I had one. It was my third car. That thing made me so mad. Everything I learned about cars just didn't apply to that old heap.

no lug nuts, LUG BOLTS
the speedometer cable goes to the front wheel
the heater runs off the exaust pipe(but not very well)

the old trick of holding the accelerator to the floor when the engine is flooded doesn't work on bugs. You have to do the lawnmower trick-take the aircleaner off, put put a screw driver in the choke, and then try.

The turn signals don't cancel themselves.

the warmest place in the winter is the BACK SEAT. Lotta good that does when your trying to drive in a snowstorm.

~smiles~ The windshield will ~never~ defrost in winter. Ain't happening! I drove blind to school in college on icy days with my two room-mates hanging out the window telling me when to turn, when to stop turning, and when to stop.
