If I heard you say you bought a used Cricket without context, I would have wondered where you found an intact badge-engineered 1970s Plymouth in 2023. Related: one of the longtime mechanics in the City of Hartford's Light Equipment Garage (cars, vans, SUVs) became a mechanic because his girlfriend drove a Plymouth Cricket that broke down often. He eventually went pro. He's getting ready to retire now. His wife got rid of the Cricket decades ago, but considered him a keeper.
