Good read, thanks for posting it.

Thanks Fleet.
My mother drove a Chevelle 396 back in the good old days. She traded it in on a Vega
Have I mentioned that my dad used to own a '75 Vega? This was back in the 1980s. I did ask him once what mpg he was getting and he said "22-24." I suppose that is pretty good back then, but certainly not these days (my '95 Lincoln averages 21 mpg).
I did drive that Vega a few times and it was pretty bad. A quite stiff ride, noisy, seating position too low and no power!
I was glad when he sold it.

They were also prone to overheating.
I remember when I was driving my dad's '75. I made a right turn onto a street with a slight, gradual uphill. It was going about 30 mph (speed limit is 40 mph) and I thought I better go a little faster. So when I attempted to push the accelerator down more, I realized that it was already at full throttle! Pretty sad when a car is at full throttle and you don't realize it!
