Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Cool Factor X

I agree the car people are giving us a lot more respect. That is why I love riding by the Street Rod Nationals when they are here. I mean all these $50,000 plus cars and my way less than perfect $1,000 Gremlin gets cheers and claps. You know after going to shows for 10 years I am like you guys. A 65 Mustang is a 65 Mustang, a Chevelle is a Chevelle and a street rod is a street rod. I have seen so many none of them do much for me anymore. The people that I think appreciate them more at the shows than the car owners are the spectators that just stop by off the street. I know I went to a couple of shows Saturday night. I was at the first one and after I looked at the same cars I have seen a hundred times before I was thinking why do I keep coming to these things. Then I walked back to my car and a woman said you sure brought back a lot of memories with your Gremlin. We got to talking and I told her it was my mothers and she said I bet she is looking down on you proud as can be that you are making so many people happy with her car. Then I went to the second one had a 10 year old boy come up to me and told me he had never seen a Gremlin before. It sure was a nice car. Then another lady told her 12 year old daughter to take a good look at the car you might never see one again. Then another lady was telling her 25 year old son he was brought home from the hospital in a tan one. I am a history buff and having a piece of history makes me feel good. If I had a Mustang or one of the other cars that everyone else has I would have quit going long ago.

I hear ya, Paul. It is absolutely amazing. I go to the shows and walk right past the vettes, 'stangs and mopars - seen one, seen them all. If you have the only Gremlin in a sea of big 3 cars, you're bound to get attention!

I just hope that none of you guys happen to own one of those RC Gremlins with the Ghetto wheels on them! That would be like calling the kettle - well, never mind............
