Yes… I seem to recall it was. I remember seeing other green Vegas on the road all the time back then.
It was an okay car, but the engine block was cast aluminum, which meant that it took 15 or so minutes for the engine to warm up. You'd get these weird engine stumbles and misfires for about 20 minutes before it started running smoothly. Annoying and frustrating as hell! -

Haven't they, though?
I even used to work on my cars back then… did my own LOF's (lube-oil-filter changes) etc. My more recent cars are just too technical for me to work on anymore. Plus, the engine compartments are much more tightly packed. You can't easily move around in them anymore, lol. -

I hate to say it, but I had to give up my old mechanic when I got a new car. He just didn’t understand hybrids. Now I go to the dealership and my wallet hates it

Dealerships are nothing but highway robbery. Don't get me started!
It's why I'm very reluctant to buy any latest models anymore. They're SO complex now. You pretty much sign on to being a slave to the dealerships.
