The Toyota Starlet was basic transportation, but extremely reliable.

I think most American cars in the 70's were complete junk...come to think of it, they kinda still are. I'd be embarrased to be seen driving an American car...very uncool.

Yeah, driving a Corvette of CTS is really embarrassing.

You know if the Big Three were to all go under, you'd have to live in the same depression as the rest of us.

I had one!! I had the first gen. civic hatchback for a while. Bought it used in the 80's and pretty much drove it to the ground until I got the '87 CRX HF (used, as well). I think I still have pictures of that little Honda civic somewhere, I think, will look. I'm pretty sure it had 4 doors, in fact, I remember moving with that car and packing a LOT OF STUFF in there (that's when I really fell in love with hatchbacks) but it was SO SMALL on the outside, you could park on a dime! You know, I still see them on the road from time to time, if you can believe that.
