When I worked at Budget we had the Levis edition Gremlins with the straight
sixes (was it a 252?), including the tiny dished sport steering wheel and NO
POWER STEERING. Really nice handling beast under way, but evil, evil thing

We had Hornets and Pacers as well. Whomever purchased the Pacers after got a
good deal, as they were low mileage (no one wanted them) -- except for the
wagons, which people found to be a useful size for small chores.
