Not that I care but my wife's best friend since they were in first grade in school likes the new Matador. She was the nitwit who got my wife on my butt 4 years ago when I bought the second Hornet. What do you need 3 cars for when you are the only driver in the house. BECAUSE I want them!!!! and it's my MONEY!!!!! The 77 Malibu is gone and now I have only AMC cars Monday was 2 weeks since I picked up the car and the first time I really drove it because of the weather. I picked it up 1 mile from where I live and topped off the gas and parked it. I took it out for a real shakedown cruise Monday as I had errands to run and it needed a state inspection. The temp one from the DMV was only good for 10 days. Luckily my friend who I bought the car from left his inspection sticker on it. So now I am perfectly legal. The guy that inspected the car really thought it was a nice car. What even made it better was he owns a 70 Camaro supposedly street driven show car he said he hardly drive because he doesn't want to get a chip in the paint. The car drove fine. It took a little getting used to as I have been driving Hornets for so many years but. I just have to drive it conservatively and not beat on it like I do my Hornets. It rides like a big smooth car of it's era before these front wheel drive rack and pinion steering cars that I dislike.
