Driving like its 1979
Our second car is a 1979´ Opel Kadett C City (that's a Vauxhall or Chevrolet Chevette for you outlanders). No ABS, No ESP, No AC, No servo or other sissy features. It actually all comes down to how good and resposible you are at driving your car. And if you are not, well, is has the same safety features as a soda can..

There is no electronic fuel injection, no complicated electronics that can break, only 5-6 buttons to push. It has a mono radio, wich i upgraded with a mono cassette deck which i got from Ebay, so i could play all my Kiss and Kraftwerk tapes from the thrift stores (only authentic music from 1979 please.)

It is dirt cheap to repair keep in shape, parts are still being manufactured, and you can do a lot of it yourself. fuel consumption? 16 kilometere/liter. Insurance? Also a very cheap classic car insurance. And it handles well and is a very fun and sporty car to drive.

Speed? It maxed out on 148,5 km/h.
