Fat Freddy Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 One of my college friends had a Chevette. She once drove a bunch of us all the way from Staten Island to the Meadowlands in NJ in it to go to a Metallica concert. I was squashed in the hatchback/cargo section the whole way there. OUCH! I felt every bump. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt every bump. Haha. That had to be a sight, you are not a short guy. One of the girls in my high school class had a "shovette". Whoever owned it before her put American flag stickers on the hood which made it even classier. But we never complained when it meant not having to walk somewhere.

Dead Planet Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I owned a 1986 Chevette for about a year...until I had to slam on the brakes for a German Sheppard crossing the road behind a car that just pulled out of a driveway...I never say the poor bastard until he crossed the white line about 20ft in front of me...I knocked him about 30ft down the road...and then a 78 Lincoln Continental knocked me damn near as far down the road...the vette looked like a pretzel...I walked away with a sore neck...good thing it happened soon after leaving a red light stop, maybe 25-30 MPH or I would have had more than a sore neck, I remember crawling out of the car and looking behind me all I could see was this huge chrome bumper...as for the dog he jumped up and ran off somewhere...the moral here is it's better to drive a Lincoln than a Chevette ...

I just found the picture online as an example Not sure I really wanna know the answer to my question... But here it goes anyway: Were you just sitting around one afternoon and the though of a Chevette entered your mind..? If this wasn't the case, please feel free to explain your motivation to start this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 who could forget the Yugo One of my brother's friends owned a Yugo in the late 80s. I never even tried to get in that thing. I'm over six feet tall, I would've had to pop my head out of the roof like Dino on "The Flintstones" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
