I'm again confused why this package hasn't yet reached the AMC List online;
I doubt that it got stuck in Wixie's chimney and I never received one of the
too-familiar "too much info to eat in one bite (or byte)" retorts from
command central.  I'll both change the subject (if "If" was iffy, "can't"
couldn't have been the cause) and <whine> chop it up.  I still have lots
more what --- to me, at least, always starving to learn anything new about
anything; here, about American Motors --- may be interesting.  An
interesting aspect of AMC history involving December 31; a ramble on a 2006
feature film; several newly-published AMC-content books to put your holiday
cash or card gifts toward.  A Rambler Classic as a new logo.  Old names on
new Daimpars.  Lots of "presents" for AMC enthusiasts.  If I have time to
type and they have a place to read.  But worthless if lost again in the
ether. 

Have a Merry [maybe] --- assuming this sleigh, too, doesn't simply fly ---
out of sight

The first half of yesterday's note isn't "there" but two people referred to
it --- I'm confused, so I'll re-send.

(I'm confused by Frank's comment also, and hope that he'll check if a
Borward Isabella is really a Skoda cabrio?!)

Can't drive your GT (mid-engine supercar) because its control arm could be
cracked and cause a high-speed wipeout?

Can't drive your CV (Police Interceptor) because its gas tank could be
crushed and cause a high-stakes barbeque?

Can't drive your CM (cerebral matter) because it's stuck back when Arkansas
roads were patrolled by AMC Javelins?

Then buy a book, buddy, from the AMC-List listings online!  Since its
holiday bookfair now seems open, we'll add another to the sales shelf. 

It's: 

How to Select and Install Turbochargers by Hugh MacInnes.  H.P. Books, 1971.
SBN (no "I" yet) 0-912656-05-0.  144 pages.  In 30-year-old new condition.

It won't answer every question you've recently had about turbo-charging, but
it's a good read from when Kenosha cars were retailed for the roads.  Best
of all, it's at an AM (AMC mentality) price of $2.00 plus postage.  Ho, Ho,
Ho!

(Seriously, Santa's bookstore is open in WNY today; he may schedule an AMC
"garage sale" next spring or summer...)

Maybe we should enlist Chip Foost to have his way with a Gremlin

And if turbocharged, maybe name it the "Foost Boost" Gremlin?

Loose fingers may do funny things,

but they also open the door to an observation about loose scholarship.  Not
one book or article by acknowledged AMC experts includes anything about two
different vehicles from AMC history that are also related to one name in
Chip Foose's bio.  What's not in "Story of..." and "Standard Catalog..." is
part of why some in the old car world still laugh at AMC.  TV clowns or
concours judges, the result is missing value and respect.
