Whoa..................BIll, my husbands first car was a Vega...and my younger sister 's 1st car.....I didn't realize they made 3 of those! I always referred to it as the geek squad....OK, so he graduated from that, but I just said to him last night, aren't you glad with gas at 4.39 a gal that you don't still have the hummer h2...he actually said he loved that...all time favorite vehicle...I remeber seeing a picture when 1 got in a wreck with a littel car...maybe a vega and the caption was " It only Looks Tough." He traded that in for such an economical (Yeah Right) Tahoe Z71...which does take the flex fuel but there is no one who has it in a 50 mile area...then its cheaper but the gas mileage sucks...which is why I drive a VW Beetle...turbo for the quick getaways...but economical. I am just a product of the 70's and always a child at heart .

Harrie...I would give up my car to live in Hawaii...I think we should have our fall get together in Hawaii.
