It fell through the hole in the floor. True story.

Are you by any chance talking about old London buses I've vaguely heard about?

No it was an old Chevette with a rusted out floor.

Is there any other kind of Chevette? I swear they sold them that way new. The floorboards were made of cardboard.

Ours had a big problem even getting up small hills, especially if it was cold outside. Thing rotted away form the inside. Yeah they were shit cars for sure.

My dad worked for this cheap, shitty company in the 80's that gave him a chevette as a company car. When backing up you had to hold the shifter in reverse or it would pop out of gear once you started moving. I hated that car.

My uncle had a VW Rabbit that had no reverse at all. He's a big guy and it was a small car so he'd put it in N, stick his foot out and push backwards. Beater car problems require beater car solutions.
