I grew up in a 54 Chevy, learned to drive in a 57 Chevy Bel Air, and my first personal car was a 73 Chevy Vega. Haven’t touched a GM product since. Probably won’t, given the current product line and attitude toward us customers. The GM CEO wants to “force” us to buy lower-mileage cars? That will help the foreign-design brands more than the domestic. And that’s the disconnect that will cause GM to follow so many of its once-proud badges.
My first car was a 1972 Chevy Nova, 350 V-8. I put 156,000 miles on it before selling it for $100 to a waitress at the restaurant I worked at. By that time it was leaking oil all over the place.
She let her boyfriend borrow it, and he took off for Mexico with the car and was never heard from again. LOL.
My younger brother owned a 1975 Vega that eventually just stopped working. He parked it on a street and the city towed it away after a few weeks.
