Re: [Amc-list] HOT ROD: AMCers hate us!

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The world has turned very slowly to look at the obscure, the ramblers, the studebakers,
I know I'd forgetting other, but I found a bottle of whiskey at the cabin and had to clear it out before my son goes down next week....he's 17...
    I feel confident I am up to the task!!!!!
