Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: The Cure For Cabin Fever

Bart I initially bough this car as a replacement for my Chebby as a
daily driver. I actually don't drive it in the snow. The roads are dry
when I go out that is why I was stuck indoors for so long after the
snow. Since I walk with a cane the last thing I need to do is slip and
fall and break somthing. If the garage door wasent still frozen shut I
would have had the yellow car out for a drive this week also. I know I
spent a lot of money on this car but I would rather spend it on this car
than buy a cookie cutter front wheel drive 4 door sedan that I would
have trouble getting my fat ass into. Who or what god decided we should
all drive 4 door front wheel drive cars? why not a 2 door version of a
Pford Taurus or a similar GM car? 2 door cars are now considered sports
cars and the insurance premiums on them reflects this. I could with the
money I came into last year easily afford a new car or a decent used car
in the 15,000$-25,000$ price range. I got 4,500$ in repairs so far with
only the tranny needing to be done and new rear wheel bearings installed
and the gas gauge made to work on the orange car. Figure 2,200$ for the
interior. 3,000$ more for re-chromed bumpers, paint and what little body
work is needed along with the installation of the 77 AMX rear louver and
flairs. So for 10,000$ I not only have a nice daily driver but an AMC to
boot. Between the 3 cars I only make 1,500-2,000 miles a year. So I
figure I am better off this way than buying a new or late model used
car. And my wife even agree's with me. The only thing she is giving me a
hard time about is all the interior parts in the living room and around
the house and the use of the dinning room table as a work bench for the
door panels I am making.

am lucky as I have usually have a choice of which Hornet to drive,
except for now as the garage door is frozen shut so that eliminates the
yellow car. The Chebby is still snowed in and the battery is dead, so
that leaves only the orange car to drive and it after all the mechanical
work done to it is a pleasure to drive now. It made all that money I
spent for repairs well worth it.

For all the money you sunk into that orange Hornet,its a shame your driving it on all that road salt Doc.
