Outta curiousity, did you have problems with the brakes being biodegradable? My mom had two Acadians, an 82 and an 86 and both had brakes that wore out at 10,000km or if you looked at them funny :blink:

Funny you should ask. The reason I got rid of it was the brakes. In fact, I drove straight from the repair shop (brake job) to the Ford dealer where I bought my Tempo. True, the Acadian/Chevette had terrible brakes that never lasted. Even after the last brake job, I could barely stop the car without putting my body weight into the pedal. Thank god when I traded it in, the sales guy that test drove it was Tony Sharpe, a former Olympic sprinter (won bronze in relay with Ben Johnson in 84). He had the leg strength to stop it. :lol:
