Big whoop. I’ll be smiling as I drive around in my older Tacoma.

Another dog was the Chevy Corvair.

The car that "made" Ralph Nader - "unsafe at any speed."

“And don’t forget Gremlins and Pacers.”

A buddy of mine was a service writer at an AMC dealership. Said it was one of his more amusing career moves.

The dumb bastards supported Biden who in turn is forcing EV’s on these filthy companies which in turn is killing their jobs.

LOL.

The owner of the Rambler dealership was very nice to my parents and so we bought a Rambler station wagon from him in 1962. For the next 30 years we bought all of our cars from him and his son-in-law, including a Marlin and a Javlin.

I was given my father’s work car when I got my Drivers License in 1972. It was a 1968 Rambler 2-Door with underdash AC added at the dealership. AM radio. Bench seats. 3 Speed Automatic. I added an underdash FM Cassette radio player from Radio Shack. The bench seats seats were nice when dating...

When I was in college, I was given my parent’s 1972 Rally Sport 350 V-8 Camero.

I drive a VW now. Made in Mexico.

Yes, the bench seats in a Rambler station wagon gave one 10 feet or so to stretch out.

President Joe Biden’s green agenda is a major concern for autoworkers whose jobs are being eliminated by Biden’s rapid push for a transition to electric vehicles (EVs), which require less workers to produce than gas-powered vehicles.
