Life is not fair sometimes. Most wives do not share the same passion for old cars as men do, and espically a small orphan company like AMC. Most guys would stand a better chance if they were talking Mustang, Camero, Chevelle or GTO, you know the big name high flash cars rather than Gremlin, Hornet or Concord. Now before anyone gets upset remember I said most not all. If what ever I do is within reason an makes me happy my wife has no problem with it. I don't spend beyond my means or buy just for the sake of haveing somthing. She knew I was pissed when I got screwed out of the orange Hornet almost 5 years ago and then out of a Gremlin, another Hornet coupe and a Matador sedan before finally getting the oeange car after waiting for 4 years for it. She also know's that there is not a snowballs chance in hell I will ever sell either Hornet. If the Sportabout wagon would have been a decent car I would have junked my Malibu and replaced it with the Sportabout. I have had a few offers to sell both them in the last 6 months. I finally had enough of one persistant person and told him he had a better chance of getting my wife of 35 years and my first born than the car. That put an end to that. Your father is the only one that can sell them cars if he lets your mother make him. All of my married friends say me and my wife have an unusual relationship and are envious. I told the wife she had 1,000$ to spend on a ring of her choice after I got my money from the court. She picked out one for 700$ and through a friend of hers since she was 7 years old got it for 400$. And is happy. It works for me. As far as the guys wife that I got the Hornet from i hope she is happy with her little ricer because I am really happy with my new Hornet.
