Oh LordY! We had a diesel Chevette. Uh, I really can't go on about just how horrible every little thing was about it other than its MPG. As they say at the end of any decent EC Comic Book.
GASP, GOOD LORD, CHOKE!"

Like riding on metal trash cans. Boomy, LOUD, creaky, smelly, leaky ( Lots of body movement ), feel EVERY bump and ride the grooves to the shoulder.
One of the worst of the eighties!

 

But you did, the HHR !

Hey don't make me feel any guiltier about buying my Honda Minivan, made happily in Alabama...........

 

Its still got a bowtie.

 

Funny, I just found some old Impala script I was thinking of putting on the Honda! I feel, er naked in it!

Hey CH, did you ever get the PM I sent you about DVDs? I have no record of it in my sent box, so I thought I'd ask. These internets is crazy some times............ No pressure, just wondering.

 

Nope.

 

The Chevette was the bizniz. My Dad wore out two 'em. A '76 Scooter model with just two seats and an '80 two-door.

 

I had a two door (orange) and a 4 door model (tan). The two door even took a T-bone hit from a full size pickup truck. I spun around about 5 times and the car was totalled, but I was safe and sound inside!!

 

Ahh yes...the Chevette

with the axle whine from hell and lifters, at 30 MPH, that sounded like a swarm of bees.

 

Those good ol' Isuzu lifters...same engine used in the old mail Jeeps!

 

My best friend in HS had a good ol' Chevy shove-it, I meana Chevette.
