I loved this car .............

One of the best cars I have ever owned, a Chevy Sprint, peppy, to say the least, small, yes, fancy, no, comfortable, questionable, but, PEPPY, extremely yes.

I had a courier route years ago, used this, five days a week I drove every night to Columbus, Ohio, taking specimens to a lab over there, that could not be processed locally.

Traffic was no problem, zipped in and out with the best of them. Not one problem in five years, no nothing, so I decided it was time to quit, and I did. It was almost like a   l   o   n   g   way home.

The only problem I had with my Sprint, opening the hood, incessantly, all of the time  ... why, I would stop for something ..... "Hey, neat little car, what kind is it?"

"It's a three cylinder Chevrolet Sprint."

"How many gotta see this!"

And, I would open the hood ......... "Well I'll be danged!"

GREAT gas mileage, I don't know why  they don't sell them today. I guess there are some other three cylinder cars on the market though, but, I have heard, not as peppy.
