I used to have a thing for AMC cars. Glad I learned better long ago.
Started out with a 77 hornet AMX, then several Eagles, then a Gremlin X with
304 v8 and 4 speed trans. That thing would lift the front wheels on a hard
takeoff. Had a twin grip rear(amc's posi) and torque links(traction bars)
My favorite AMC car was my Dad's '69 AMX that he had in the late 70's. It

I never made fun of that car again.

My buddy in high school got to drive the family Rambler. 4 door black
thing with the fully reclining seats (which reminds me of other stories
I shall not share). I think it was a Rambler American? But it had a
sufficiently sizable engine -- perhaps the 3something -- in it that

My college roomie drove his '66 Rambler until it croaked, in roughly 2 years
from new. At the junkyard the proprietor gave him permission to take a
sledge hammer to it. That provided amesure of revenge/satisfaction. This
was the car I borrowed and drove around at 10 degrees not knowing it had
