They look much better after you remove those dark plastic
shipping protective braces from the outside. Most owners
forget to do this, so if you see one parked somewhere,
feel free to do this. The owner might even thank you.

My wife had a '83 Spirit GT (a.k.a. Gremlin) when I met her. Yes, I married
her anyway. That car was FAST. It had a 4.2 liter I-6. Didn't handle very
well though.

They hit high on the ugly scale... but that new honda "suv" is the worst...
can you imagine the day when a fellow comes up to you, as you are
topping-off your jeep for a nice weekend... starts a conversation about his
"jeep" and points to THAT?????

The height of the aztec's introduction adverts had some young couple
"camping" in their back yard... I would say that about sums them up.

*Yet another vehicle that would reduce your peripheral vision too much to be
drivable.*

That wasn't a Gremlin ad. The ad with the long sandwich was for a Pacer.

I stand corrected. I guess the old memory isn't what it used to be!
Too funny though that some of you remember that ad however. Never
could remember my anniversary but never forgot the stupid AMC
commercial! How sad...=:{)

And I think Gremlins were kind of neat looking. They were at least until
the smog ***** got their way, damn good cars, too.

Pacers on the other hand were butt ugly AND lousy cars. I remember in
about 1997 or so, the president of my company at the time got a brand
new Mercedes. I don't know the model now, but I took one look at it and
said "Looks just like a Pacer!"

It was about that time that I realized that we were about to be sold
down the river. The company (Santa Monica Bank, est. 1928 by the
president's grandfather) was in fact sold later that year, and again in
1999. I was laid off in April, 2000, much to my continued betterment.

Offhand, I'd say that the Liberty has a lot of Pacer in it too!

DAve

The scariest thing os that they aren't even a 'cheap' ugly... THose
things cost a small fortune.
