[BaadAssGremlins] Had a FUN day!

["gpndave_22" <gpndave_22@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all - I want to let you know that there is still *SOME* respect 
for AMC here in the South (Alabama at least)! I happened to drive my 
Gremlin by a mall parking lot and noticed a couple of radio station 
vans & some old cars parked around so I turned in to see what was 
going on. I got a free AC Delco car inspection and free entry into 
their GM High Performance Club car show. Not even having my car 
washed, I was hesitant to enter, but was encouraged by several club 
members. The judges were 2 men and one woman from AC Delco doing a 
promotion. The #2 NASCAR (real car) of driver Clint Bowyer was there 
too. I proudly pulled my little Gremlin in beside the row of 
Corvettes, got out the Simple Green and a rag, and cleaned a layer 
of crud off the engine and door sills before the judges came around. 
I thought I was in trouble when the woman judge said, "What is 
that?", but the 2 guys told her all about AMC, recounting their 
memories of the Javelin, AMX, and so on. Another nice surprise came 
at award time. I won the judge's choice award and was given a very 
nice laser cut 'Show Winner' plaque to take home in the Gremlin! I 
also met this lady from Montgomery who said she is building a 1974 
Gremlin up with a 360, etc. We exchanged phone numbers and I hope to 
get some advice & parts from her for mine. It really turned out to 
be a rewarding day, with so many folks stopping by with their 
comments about the car.  Dave
