Shows- Goes- Flows

[stover@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Having different viewpoints is American and wonderful. Here's mine: what's
all the fuss?
Gonna worry online in the small community within a small
community(AMC)about what some dodo does or does not say when looking under
the hood of an AMC and finding a Chevy, Buick, Pontiac, FoMoCo, Chrysler,
Simca, Mercedes, Jaguar, John Deere, International Harvester, Maico,
Hondo,Honda, Hindu, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Allison, Cummins, Sachs, Porsche,
etc. powerplant under there and they exclaim( or don't- because they don't
know or care about what they are seeing)-see Wilfred, I done tol' ya- I
knew dem A Emm Ceez was "All Manufacturers Collected". Why would these
folks be at an AMC show in the first place?
   If you have a personal beef with seeing something there that wasn't put
in by descendents of Jeffrey himself then why not simply say so? This
thing about perpetuating myths amongst the ignorant masses is ignorant
in and of itself- or it assumes whomever your audience is for said
argument is. Ignorant people will remain so if they aren't
educated.Bitchin'.Yet, a Corvette 327 powerplant under hoods at an AMC
show is going to bolster the notion that AMC's had Chevy motors"from
the factory"in the head of some errant Chevyite that accidently
wandered onto an AMO field?
    Any more than that might or mightn't happen in the 7-Eleven parking
lot in Anyville U.S. of A. If the owner is near(or not) put a placard
on the dash that says-" I done it wit me ohn two-hands(or with
two-fist-fulls o' dollars and somewun elsez ohn two-hands)- I set the
penacule of Amurrican V-Ate injunearin''tween the the cheeks of this
aMX, Horno, Spirit, Concord, Mat Coupe, etc. cuZ I cood. So thair. Ask
away vuwers of da worl'"
    I mean come on, so you and you and you and you, etc. Might be
disappointed when you put on your X-Ray glasses and note that that
sweet Ambo amblin' up the blvd is motorvated by a 500 C.I. Caddy
Vee?That disappointment should prevent the guy or gal from doin' their
thing with a car- because some massed electron flow of AMCdom
disapproval will zing their way and somehow droves of future rodders
should get wind of this affrontery to maintaining the faith in Kenosha
and think it is a Good Thing. As somone else pointed out it's been
done to Model A's with 350 in'em. But an AMX with a 350 in it isn't
quite as common a phenom. And many "Model A's" are fiberglass and
chromemoly- not exactly factory.
  Naw, personal predjudice is the bottom line. No biggie in that. This
other stuff- that's just coverin' up.
