I owned a Chevette during the last big gas crisis during Jimmy Carter’s reign...

3-4? speed manual transmission and peppy litle engine, stripped interior, AM radio no airconditioning.....

I drove that thing like a maniac in Washington DC traffic and parked in the tiniest spaces.

Loved that little car, bought it new from the dealer for $2995

Abused the heck out of it (60K miles) until I sold it in 1982 for $3400

You sold a three-year-old, ragged-out Chevette with 60K in 1982 for $3400? I’m impressed!
