I was once rear-ended by a Pontiac Sunfire. Didn't feel a thing. Sunfire was a write-off.
I miss this car so much. I've only ever seen one other 2-door. This one had dual heaters. There was about 18 feet of tubing running the length of the car on the passenger side that pumped hot coolant to the rear heater. Flip 'em both on and the ol' gal got nice and toasty. Only drove it one winter. It was such a loafer. Didn't run right until about 55mph. Just for fun one night with a carload, we passed somebody on a straight stretch. I firewalled the pedal at 60mph. It shifted into second and held second 'til 110 when I lifted and it upshifted to third. Still had acres of grunt left, but with drum brakes all around, we were running out of real estate for slow-down.
We used to joke that the car had the "little" 440. Only 350 horsepower as opposed to the T.N.T. mill with 375.
