Mine was on the side of the road a few times too. I drove it like I stole it. Fortunately it had 9 lives.
We once repaired the leaking radiator with a pant leg and Elmer's wood glue.
Did you have the model that had the exploding gas tank? Truth be told I would love to get my hands on a Citation X11.
An engineer friend bought 3 chevy citations over the course of about 5-6 years in the early 1990s (we used to joke that Citations were so bad they should be given citations, they could be had used for $250-$500 at the time). He lived in the sticks and had quite a commute on state highways. One fall he hit 3 deer in seperate events. I started asking him how far off the road he had to chase them to hit them. Every one of his Citations had messed up front end sheetmetal. He'd just buy another and used the old ones for parts.
