And the coming of the Beetles?
Seriously, I do drive a 40 MPG car from 1985. But it is a Mercedes that is quiet and smooth and cushy! And it runs on used veggie oil. And it has 600,000 + miles (estimated - ODO broke at 549,000 - like 10 years ago ).
My back loves the old Mercedes seats. Not so much the Honda seats. And certainly NOT the Metro seats! And the NOISE! I'm partially deaf from working in machine shops as a young boy and I still hear too much background noise in those early cars.
But, those Honda Civics and Geo Metros were fun and easy to work on. My wife drove them into the ground as she was the spokes model at the time, for a large Telcom and she covered the California , Nevada and Arizona areas. 3 cars in 6 years she destroyed. Her fourth car, a little Daihatsu, survived and I am in the process of rebuilding the little 1 liter engine.
But I will be putting in aftermarket seats!
