The gremlin may have sucked, but the Pacer was really friggin fugly!

I had both.

For my Pacer, I bought some of those "fish" decals that are sometimes seen on the bed cover caps on pickup trucks and applied them to my windows............

The Gremlin had a very nice AMC inline six, though...the one they put in the Jeep. It had plenty of power in a car that size.

and I forgot to mention the rumor that the Life cereal kid was rumored to have died from eating pop rocks while drinking a Coke. Stomach exlosion. Good stuff.

What about the custom van craze? Remember those things with murals and shag carpet...and the little plexiglas bubble windows near the back of the van?

You mean like...?

There's gonna be a Land of the Lost remake

Yeah, and Jack Black is gonna be in it, too. I'll actually go to the theater for that one.

My kids love the Flinstones, and the Jetsons (which is my personal favorite).

JANE, STOP THIS CRAZY THING!

Have you seen "High Fidelity?"

Jack Black was brilliant in that movie.

My two year old's name is Caroline. Even my four year old knows the words to Sweet Caroline, cause we sing it to the little one all the time.
