theneilshow2: 1979 Chevy Citation.  Because hipsters need ironic cars. Oh wow. This is exactly my mom’s car when I was a kid. Well, a 1981 model, but the same colors and trim. Iron Duke 4-banger, 3-speed automatic transmission, manual everything else. I think it had an AM radio and a blank in the dash for a clock. But boy could that cavernous hatchback hold anything: two kids with bikes & a dog, 12 bags of lawn clippings, fragile science fair dioramas, you name it. The X-bodies had a bad rep for reliability, but our Citation was a trooper. I think the only time it was ever out of service for long was when I backed it into the corner of the garage and crunched a fender. I think we had that car for at least 20 years.
