Funny anecdote - my first car was a Chevy Chevette. That thing was so under-built, undersized, under-specced …..

  • I didn’t know about the existence of spring compressors but had no problem fitting them by hand. All ya gotta do is just press hard to compress them enough
  • my brother said it was the easiest car to work on because the transmission was light enough to hold up with one hand while unbolting it with the other
