Previous owner had all of the typical Vega "quirks" fixed so it was a pretty good package by that time. These cars were designed unlike any other vehicle on the road. It rusted out real bad after a bunch of harsh WNY winters but it allways fired right up instantly. It was sad to see it go to the bone yard.

What you were driving a used 1976 Vega in 1973??? did it have a flux capcitor in it??

OK, Im being a smarta$$...

Not sure if I classify as an old timer but I was driving a '68 Camaro RS, 327 4-spd.

I never heard of anyone driving a bicycle,you ride a bicycle, did I say drive or ride? I thought people were smart enough to know the difference... I guess I was wrong.

Relax, they were just having fun. I'm guessing most of the people on this forum weren't old enough to drive back in '73, if they were even alive.

That's why I said "Old Timers" I would say most people that were driving in 73 are over 60 now.

Sorry to hear that, medical problems can make ya feel a lot older than you are.
I felt like I was 100 when I was going through chemo.
