Teague was a talented designer, you can see the brilliance if you’re looking in the right place, even though he was severely hamstrung during AMC’s declining years. My family had several Ramblers and AMC cars in my childhood, and I have a positive connection with them, nostalgia I guess.

Looks like a 748 in the background (or some other tasty Ducati). You can’t have cried that long.

I had a Corvair with a blower. It would out corner about anything on the road and was fun to drive. VERY roomy back seat.

That was a 900 SuperSport. The most notoriously uncomfortable bike created. That is, unless you are 5' 120 pounds. I am not.

My Geo is being reclaimed by Nature, After this winter, I doubt that much made of steel will be left of it. I'd like a Smart, if sensible tires/wheels could be adapted. Now I'm sold.

I drove a used Crown Vic for a while when I was in my 20s. I needed a car and my hubby got a great deal on it.

They are old people cars and I fondly called it my grannymobile. I really loved it—you’re right about them being like riding in a cloud!
