[AMC-list] Merry Christmas part 1

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In a conversation with John Mahoney (ya'll know him) a Christmas twinge, old cars, and new, nostalgia, and well, memories. Found 
many a photo from my old neighborhood while replying to John, and thought would share this Christmas eve.

From: Mahoney, John
for your new Japanese Jaguar:

but you'll pay more than we will. It costs around $32,000 in Japan. How much will it cost in the USA?
"Under $30,000" is the last word. Just how far under will be the key.

A 323-hp Chevy starts at $23,200:

A 5.1-second Ford starts at $22,310:

And a Guess-Who Hustler at $22,250:

Any may be better than a 200-hp Toy. Even with a bad beltline window dip. Looking more Honda than Darrin. And not looking like Buick 
a bit.

(Like Brylcreem, a little dip will do ya.)

(Unless you believe the more is better.)

Costly cars looked like custom cars then. Costly cars look like common cars now.

$1.8 million is too much for a car.

$1.8 million is too much for a house.

$1.8 million is too much for anything.

$2299 was not too much for a Gremlin.

No matter what all the "experts" still say.

I still believe cheaper is better, yesterday and today.

Compared to a small Jag, a small Toy should be cheaper.

Compared to a big Toy, a small Toy should be cheaper still.

For $375,000 (plus $3,700 guzzler tax and a $2,400 delivery fee)

.you can get it in Aqua, Lavender, Passionate Pink, or Pearl Yellow.

If 3 wheel finishes and 6 caliper colors aren't enough, buy a Porsche!

Your color choices (and costs) will be limited only by your checkbook.

Unless you want their 2012 Henry Ford Commemorative 911 Model T.
