I had a 1974 ? Vega station wagon when I was 16 it cost 300. 00 I actually poured oil in this thing so often I was trying to figure out a wayto add oil to it while driving it ... . no kidding ... . 3 quarts every 75 miles ???? Man I wish I could be 16 again I swear to you I would drive that damn Vega the rest of my life to be 16 one more time!
Reminds me of the 1974 Chevy Impala I had when I was 17. I drove it from Texas to Michigan and burned over two cases of oil. It would only go 50 mph and would burn two quarts of oil an hour. Every hour, I stopped and put in 2 more quarts.
Just as I was pulling into my Granfather's driveway with $5 left in my wallet, the car stalled and could never be started again.
