Re: [AMC-list] mythbusters eagle vs snowplow

[Bill Serckie <realtorbill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my years of driving, I've owned Ferds, none of which have ever made it to 60k miles due to crappy engines, I've had Chebbys most of which developed some sort of electrical issue 
and i even had an ultra low mileage 1979 Cordoba with the 360 lean burn system which ran like crap...on the other hand I've had lots of AMC's and Ramblers, none of which ever cost me a large repair bill if not able to fix it myself and all but one just died from being used and used and used,,,In 1980 my 1970 Rebel was t-boned by a 1972 Chrysler New Yorker, bent into a "U" shape and completely demolished and both my passenger and I climbed out of the car and walked away unharmed...  

Dollar for dollar the AMC's were the best cars I've ever owned...
 
(I did have a 1980 Toyota corolla which died at 274,000 miles as the fuel pump quit and the car was just too rusty to invest money in...)

I learned years ago that arguing with a certain strain of car nuts is like beating a dead horse, it gets you no where.
These are people who learned the mantra   ".... is best, screw the rest" and nothing you can tell them will sway them from their opinions. To risk falling into that camp myself, these were usually Chevy drivers who could not stand AMC, or Ford, or whatever, because it wasn't a Chevy.
Yeah, our beloved AMCs had some quality issues in the 70s and 80s, but they all did. Mention the lean burn to Chryco people and watch em cringe. Talk about the whole GM line in the mid 70s or their efforts to smog out the small blocks, and see them change the subject. The whole car industry went through a rough spell and unfortunately AMC kicked the bucket. You Plymouth and Oldsmobile drivers, make room at the back of the bus for the Mercury drivers. We AMC drivers get to sit in the front as we suffered so long. Someone lend them a hand.....Russ
