And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Oh, I dunno. I slapped a gay pride sticker on the back bumper of a co-workers S-10 once and he drove around like that for three months before anyone told him.
I had a wagon as a Teen, Most reliable car I think I have owned! I beat the living crap out of it and it wouldn't die! I called it my Racing Pintera! LOL
AMC being a struggling also-ran is endearing to those with underdog, giant-killer fantasies. Here is one article with some interesting specs on the muscle AMC offering, and it is much more than decals. Pity only less than 1,000 were made:
Let’s see, 1969 Rambler Scrambler - 315 HP in a compact body; the original short wheelbase AMX 340 HP; 1971 Javelin AMX Trans-Am Champion driven by Mark Donohue; any early ’70’s Javelin AMX Go-Package : 4-spd w/401 CI, 335 HP in 3,300 lbs.; NASCAR Matadors; Jeep CJ’s with 340 or 401 CI; I could go on!
Knew a dood with one back in the late 70's. Was yellowish and had, I think, a 343 in it.

ReplyDeleteThe only thing more feckless than this would have been if someone had been stupid enough to slap a Shelby sticker on a Pinto

DeleteThat looks more like one of my honey bees that lost their queen, they were pissed but the sting still did not hurt that bad.

ReplyDeleteaint dodge coming out with a new hornet?
ReplyDeleteThe owner may be entitled to that graphic. Google F-18E Super Hornet. It does need an aircraft carrier however.
ReplyDeleteLong before all these imposters was the Hudson Hornet.
