Sorry about bringing that painful memory back, Alan. I actually liked my Vega GT when it wasn't coughing up oil, putting a rod through the block or stranding my Mom and little sister on the railroad crossing with a train coming.

I was actually a little bit cross with my Mom for getting a big guy to help her push it out of the path of the train. It could have saved me a lot of future time pulling the engine, again and again. The flaw was a smog control device built with a short wiring harness. The engine rocking broke a wire that grounded out the engine spark. I mention the details to add weight to my assertion that the Vega was a Pinto with a bowtie.

Ah, memories of youth. When life was easy.
