Gwen is vomiting as we speak....
Long story but back in 72 I sold my 66 Vette and bought a brand new 73 Vega - Yellow - hatchback.... It was without a doubt THE WORST CAR EVER... that I've ever owned. I loved the little car - but the engine was a complete POS... I went through 3 head gaskets.. and a couple warped heads...
So here's the funny part. At the time - I also owned a 55 Chevy 2 door post... Gwen would drive that over the Vega... In early 74 I TRIED to trade the Vega in on a new 74 Mercury XR7... the dealership would NOT TAKE THE VEGA on trade - but would give me a heck of a deal without the trade - so the VEGA sat in front of the dealership where I left it - for about 2 weeks... they finally called me and asked me to PLEASE come get it.... Poor little Vega.... so home it came - where Gwen would still choose the 55 over it... It sat for 6 months or more before I could finally pawn that little POS off on somebody (for 2K if I remember right)...
I was at Jim Greens yesterday (the 'famous' drag racer) and he still has a couple of Vega AA/FC bodies sitting around.. They're SO KOOL!
It will be major fun to see what you do with your new toy!
