Not to make anyone mad, but I kinda expect people to act a little silly when they see my Gremlin, but thats why I like em. Its not that there really making fun of our cars, but the Gremlin kinda lets people enjoy a car while having fun with it. Does that make sense? I like my car and thats all that matters. If I wanted to be like everyone else, Id have got a Mustang or a Camaro. Let em giggle and have fun.
