...and try going to Supershops to buy parts for a 1972 V-8 Vega. They can get to 1972 Chevrolet Vega but you lose them when they ask what engine size. They can't find parts if it is not in the catalog.

I went in to get parts for my '94 Lightning pick up in about '98 and one of 
the salesmen on the floor wanted to know why I named my truck.  But thought 
it looked with the big back tires,

E-I-E-I-O is a real zip here,
