I drove one. I had three dead ones for spare parts. Then I put a built 350c.i. in one and traded it for a bitchin' 66 Mustang. I win.

I totalled my brothers Vega. It was just like the lyrics to Rehab’s - Sitting in a Bar “I crashed that piece of shit and then stepped away”

They were such crappy cars that the manner of shipping had negligible impact.

Thanks. I was curious about oil filling cylinders and gas going everywhere but it's covered there.

I feel like this world be a terrible idea unless every single fluid were completely drained.

They probably don't put the fluids in till after shipping

Picturing the times I've tipped my lawnmower the wrong direction and fuel starts pouring out the air filter.

That's okay, it always burns off quickly once it catches on fire when the fuels hits the exhaust

It's also why it was plagued with all sorts of mechanical/engine problems.

Now I'm curious if they use this to ship electric vehicles now.
thatsnotmydog
That would actually make more sense with electric vehicles. But didn't Musky want to use his robot trucks to ship them?
AntRam95
Musk said they would be self driving and deliver themselves, said that several years ago
MisterRichard
Its that really why? Or was it just a shit car at a low point in the industry?

We’ve reach lower now. Our stick shift are same as radio node.

No. It did have aluminum engine block with steel sleeves that seized up the pistons when it got cold however
quade
They made engine mods in order to ship it this way; but cars aren't meant to be upright like this, and so all sorts of problems settled in.
MisterRichard
That makes sense.
