 Ironically what Terry mentions below recently happened when a old fellow 
passed away and was buried in the car he loved.

  PM Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] car shows and 
  what I parked next to. 
 
    
    
      | I went to my next to last car show for the season today. 
        Considering the temperature around 50 degrees they had a fair showing of 
        about 50 cars. Well I have parked next to Vette's, Mustangs, street rods 
        you name it I don't care. I aways figure if they don't like my Gremlin 
        they can move. Nobody has moved yet. I always love it when these guys 
        have their hot Mustangs and Cameros and I get more attention out my way 
        less than cherry Gremlin. Of course all they have to do is look and 
        there are 10 more Mustangs and Cameros just like theirs down the line. 
        You seen one you seen them all. Anyway there was a mint Auburn parked 
        there and an open spot next to him. I hesitated and said what the hell. 
        I back my $1000 Gremlin next to this $150,000+ Auburn supercharged 
        speedster. While everyone looked at the Auburn I still got the looks and 
        the stories. I might have said this before  but it is kind of a 
        shame. I go to shows all summer long around here and since I don't 
        belong to a club I bet there isn't 6 people who know my name but 
        everyone knows my Gremlin. At least four or five times a year I get 
        personal invitations to go to some show somebody is putting on. They 
        want to see the Gremlin there. I told my better half when I die I want 
        her to put in my Obituary that I could be found in my 78 Gremlin at the 
        local car shows during the summer. She thought it was nuts that she had 
        never heard of anyone saying that went to football games. I told her I 
        wanted the Gremlin in there so people will know who in the hell I am. 
        Then I told her when I am laid out I want the Gremlin parked in the side 
        parking lot of the funeral home right where two main roads come together 
        and I want black a bow tied to the antenna. I also want it driven in the 
        funeral procession. By this time she looked at me and said in front of 
        or behind the family car. I would like to have it behind the hearse but 
        I told her behind the family car would be alright. Just by her attitude 
        I don't think it is going to happen. I am thinking about going by the 
        funeral home and leaving them my request. I am not planning on dying 
        soon but I am serious about this do you guys think I am nuts. Terry
