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.
Holy crap, runner Vegas are cheap.

I’v always felt like that wouldn’t be good for the fluids.

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.

What would the world do without YouTube to bring us gems like that?

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.

Its so weird to see VEGAs with stock wheels and uncut hoods. I’ m 38 and have yet to see a vega in real life that is not a drag car! LOL
