A friend and colleague of mine introduced me to this when we discussed his grandfather’s Vega: a railroad car designed specifically to transport more Vegas than was usually possible.

I always loved how the Vega looked.

Chevrolet’s goal was to deliver Vegas topped with fluids and ready to drive to the dealership. In order to be able to travel nose-down without leaking fluids all over the railroad, Vega engineers had to design a special engine oil baffle to prevent oil from entering the No. 1 cylinder, batteries had filler caps located high up on the rear edge of the case to prevent acid spilling, the carburetor float bowl had a special tube that drained gasoline into the vapor canister during shipment, and the windshield washer bottle stood at a 45 degree angle. Plastic spacers were wedged in beside the powertrain to prevent damage to engine and transmission mounts. The wedges were removed when cars were unloaded.

I had track 2, Annie, stuck in my head before all of the Vega posts even started.

I was being sarcastic, but you do you.
Pandora has introduced me to a lot of music with which I was unfamiliar but somehow that has eluded me.
Thank goodness.

Neon Indian was one of the more prominent Chillwave acts of the early 2010s. A genre that appeared and disappeared so fast that it practically didn’t happen.
