I'd nominate the Monza hatchback as well - any car you have to pull the engine out to change the spark plugs is a really p** poor design! Thankfully, I had the coupe instead, and it was TOTALLY different! |

I had a friend who had a Chevette. I rode home from work with him once and couldn't put my feet side by side on the floor of the passenger seat. Pretty sad excuse for a car. We test drove a new Toyota Tercel once and got passed going uphill on the interstate by a Chevette. (The locally famed "Cut In The Hill" south of Cincinnati on I-75.) I took the next exit, drove back to the dealer, and bought a Mazda Protege instead.

There was a Chevette in a recent episode of the NBC series "Grimm." Other than that I rarely see one on the road. I think they maybe extinct.

They rare, but are slightly more common than the Chrysler K-car. It was a terrible car but saved them from oblivion because they sold the crap out of them. What's funny is that I see more AMC Pacers and Grimlins than either the K-car or the Chevette. When I was in college, our campus police drove K-cars. We could outrun them on foot for a pretty good distance...talk about acceleration!

His car modification that he once mentioned (and knowing him, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually tried it, at least briefly) was...unique: "I got tired of people always passing me, so I replaced my car's headlights with strobe lights--now when I drive at night, I'm the only one who's moving..."

The platform of the K-car spun off about 10 other Chrysler models. I even had an E-Class for a very short time. |

I hope it had a stronger engine than our campus police cars. I'm not joking about outrunning them! Not that I've ever done that personally.

Check out this video from the Top Gear guys as they drive the classic British 3-wheeled car, the Reliant Robin.

I met...
I met Steven Wright once, he was so excited!
My favorite of his jokes, I named my dog "stay"... come, stay! I was walking in the woods and a tree fell down in front of me, it didn't make a sound!
