My first wife bought a 1971 Chevy Vega with her dad, which should have been my signal to end the engagement. When the automatic shifted, the entire car lurched, and the front quarter-panels rusted through within a year. Too bad they did not change the name of the car from the Volt to the Obama, so we could get a headstart on his legacy.

A coworker and his father each bought a ‘72 Vega, identical cars. One had a rear axle break and the wheel come off and the other had the engine go bad due to lack of lubrication (some of the oil passages were blocked). This was before the cars had more than a few thousand miles on them. The Lordstown Lemons.
The YUGO of the 70’s but with even less quality.

The Vega had an aluminum block. If the car overheated the engine seized up. One of my brothers had this happen to him twice while under warranty.
