Funny new book - "CrapCars"

@j33g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:
I hate to admit this, but when I was poor, young and dumb in the
mid-70's I owned two of the cars in this book - 1974 Mustang II and
1973 Chevy Vega.
Had a Mustang II also..2.3L 4 speed..engine rebuilt at 190K, finally
parted it out at 330K, but used the block and head to rebuild the 75
Courier at 300k (2.3L also). I finally parked it at 550K...truck still
runs.
Chevette's were called ****vettes around here. For good reason. I would
hate to think I had to drive one of those in a large city..you'd get run
over trying to merge onto an interstate. Took one of them forever + a day
to get to 60 mph.
Vega's weren't nearly as bad as a chevette.
I'd have to add the rust-while-you-watch mid-70's GM trucks.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
