    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Likewise..i bought,well,dealt myself a Vega wagon about 14 years back,,but I had a few things on the go at the time,,and someone came along and offered me a deal on it,,,so,,,,I went back down the road..Wish I had kept it,cos it would have been a good little cruiser with a mild SBC and auto..

    Vega wagons are super cool. Unfortunately, my 74 is a notchback, but it was clean and local ( eBay )

    Falcon, there are rust free Vegas on evilbay every day, you just have to be willing to pry open the wallet.
