My Citation reminded me a lot of a colon...
I was used to driving a 72 Super Beetle, which was just about a jeep. I could take that baby anywhere. I tried chasing a train up the Dutch Line one night in the Chevy, and it was all I could do to keep all the parts moving in the same direction.
Shortly after that, both CV's gave out (at about 35K mi). That was after I had put $1700 into the electrical system just to keep the motor running and the lights on.
After the guy put Humpty Dumpty back together again, I drove it directly to Bob Davidson Ford, and was delighted with the $1000 "Push pull drag or drive" trade I got on a new Tempo. (5 on the floor with a 4-banger... It was like having a VW again!) I got over 140K out of that in 6 years, replacing the clutch around 120, and it was the first of four Fords I've enjoyed over the years. The wife currently makes the rounds in a Freestar.
Now that I'm an old guy, I drive a steel grey Chrysler that's like driving a cloud... But I digress... Hopefully the Fairmont model will also come in the coupe and wagon styles for those of you populating your Microtrains auto racks...
