I was going through some files and came across these pages I had torn out of an old issue of Scientific American. The pages don't tell me which issue, but they appear to be from 1978. I wouldn't mind owning some sort of modernized, electro-ized, retro-themed Civic hatchback ... or a geodesic dome :-)
My first car, 1978 (?). It was a stick, nimble and speedy (also white, and I’d swear it was smaller than what this photo shows). Not many years later, it was toast. A mechanic told me the engine wasn’t made to last beyond 60,000 miles. (I should’ve bought that mundane-looking Corolla.)
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall they also had serious problems with rust.
