I made comment and it was told that was done to dodge the mechanicals. So much for buying American.
My best friend in high school, he didn't have his own car.. He drove his his moms 1980 Chevette 4 door.
Whenever anyone asked about his car..
"Yeah, I'm driving my moms Vette. It's red, bucket seats, 4 speed."..
He beat the **** out of that car.
