Just saw this on a site.  If mama says corvettes are not family cars then show her this.  Not recommending it kind of ugly but it is red.  Kind of looks like a Vet was slumming and found a Vega that wanted to play.   Approve Some people kids!!

Interesting what can be  done.  A friend of mine saw a four door C4 when he was on vacation.

Yea
I owned a Vega once and some times Thoroughbreds (corvettes) go slumming. 

By the way after I bored out and put steel sleeves in the Vega along with a couple of other items for improvements, it did real good on the road.  It surprised a number of people that thought they could play. 

My ex wife loved it so she got it in the settlement and I got the Renault.

The Nomad is pretty cool...  I had a 62 Pontiac Safari Wagon for 5 years!  It's 389 could smoke up that
one rear tire great!  2 tons of good American Steel!

The Nomad style I can handle better than the 4 doors, they're just hideous!
