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

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
