Then he talked about a new Chevy coming out soon that was going to be a cross between a Chevy sedan and a Corvette ... the Chevette.
Thank God I didn't wait for the Chevette to come out. Bought a Chrysler Cordoba.
My Dad made the mistake of buying a Vega. That underpowered a** bucket was such a POS, I had a 68 Charger at the time that was a gas hog, but still cheaper to drive.
A Vega! Yee haw!
I drove one of those until it got drowned in a flood. Did a cylinder reline of 3 of the cylinders.
“Yes, a Vega is on the list. I wonder if it comes with its original factory rust.”
All humor has it’s basis in truth, and your comment is hilarious! I had a ‘73 Vega that I inherited from my brother. It started rusting the minute it rolled off the dealer’s lot. It leaked more oil than a BP well. The little sewing machine engine had a dealer AC package installed; if you ran the air and stopped at a light, you had to put it in neutral and give it gas or the compressor would kill the engine. I made a left turn once and the driver’s side door flew open, almost ejecting my date (who declined to repeat the dating experience with me).
The ultimate slam on the Vega; my other brother had a Ford Pinto wagon at the same time. I envied him.
