Re: [AMC-list] 75 Matador 6-cylinder



Hey Bruce,

I drive my 1965 American w/195.6  in Chicago traffic on a regular basis the only 
issue I encounter is getting up to speed while merging onto an expressway, ot's 
quick but not quick enough at times but most of the drivers kick back enough to 
let me in and also so that they can gawk at the car itself...

Tom's MUCH better at driving 196's in traffic than me! I did head out
at busy traffic time a couple times last week, but thoroughly enjoyed
p*ssing off - er, I mean encouraging BMW SUV drivers to slow down and
enjoy life. Driving during commuting time brought up a few minor
things I need to work on. They weren't obvious during off-peak
cruising, but definately showed up when doing bumper-to-bumper fun.
