[BaadAssGremlins] underdogs (was Re: A little help please!!)

["higgy1127" <higgy1127@xxxxxxxxx>]

-Hey all the newbie again,
 First of all my condolences to you and yours. I know it is a hard 
time for anyone,just know that there are ones who care from places 
one would never think of.All wounds unseen are healed with time and 
understanding.Hang in there.keep all the good thoughts a going.
Second: I do not care if i am an "Underdog". people used to laugh at 
me when i first bought my Gremmie back in 1973. a Gremlin X "Levi" 
edition,258 straight six.Once i did a little fixing up with then a 
Clifford Research 4 bbl intake, Holley 435 dbl pumper(jetted 
down),headers with duel exhaust,distributor curve kit, lift kit in 
the rear and a stableizer bar with new MEATS in the rear. the first 
time i raced it was july 4th '74 and beat a then 72 chevy pick up 
with a 250 v-8 in it( the guy didn't know HOW to drive. I wish I 
would have raced for pinks rather than territory....lol People still 
laugh at me when they see my "Haulin Half Pint" and say HEY! i 
haven;'t seen one of thoses in years where's the other half? I say I 
can still get it if I want it...it's a Hornet Sportabout! let them 
laugh I still LOVE my Gremmie! Be Well all!
PS: I am in the process right now of up updateing with a new carb and 
electronic ignition and a hotter coil!   weeeeeeeee

but those folks we love in our daily lives too. So we bristle 
sometimes when a announcer at a track calls our 11 second Javelin a 
Rambler, or Hot Rod runs a spoof article they would have never run 
for another 'orphan' car like Plymouth or Olds. Underdog, boy that 
brings back some memories of Polly Purebread and  Doctor Simon 
Barsinister always wanting to take over world. What the hell would 
you do if you accomplished taking over world? Then you gotta feed and 
dress them all.

I found a junkyard close to where I live with some AMCs in it.
