Andy4639 · 12-19-2012, 08:44 PM

Yep, that's the way I remember them. My family had 3 of them at the same time. Yikes.

The worst part is I traded a 5 year old 68 Z28 in on the Vega. Gave me $650 for the Z. What a dumb *ss I was.

I guess your right about that they did have issuse's but how bout a new fi 2.2 ecotec in one with the 5spd that would be my choice.
thats what I was really trying too say but just didnt come out that way

. for what its worth i like the 2.2 in the womans hhr,but the hhr its self well....its good for her

the tree thing seems like a commom occerance I have a cousin that put a 350 in one and allmost instanly removed tree bark with it but he wrecked everthing he had so I never blamed the cars

I would like too see that cutaway burb in person it would be cool to oogle all over it
