amen...the k-car.....our answer to the Lada.

I worked at a car rental place in the early 80s - and our experience with the K cars was that we'd have to have major transmission or air conditioning work done within the first 200 miles on the clock in anyhwere from 25-30% of all the K cars in the fleet (we probably had anywhere from 50-75 of them locally). Having them out of service like that really screwed up availability, and the franchise owners dropped 'em like hot potatoes.
