In Reply to: OT - Vega Wagon posted by Royse on August 08, 2015 at 05:42:57:
I came from a die-hard GM family. My first car was a '64 Canadian Pontiac (Chev mechanicals in a Pontiac body) and it was bullet-proof, so when I went looking for my first brand-new car I couldn't go wrong with GM, right? It came down to a Toyota Corolla or the Vega: how could that Japanese upstart compete? What a mistake! My Vega was absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned. The fenders rotted out in 18 months.

After the second body job in 3 years, I painted a big yellow (lemon) stripe on it and drove it until hit 80,000 miles. I then hauled it to the scrapyard and swore I would never own another GM product.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
