[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Sold My Gremlin. Building a 401 Amc Eagle..

["gremlin_corvette_guy" <gremlin_corvette_guy@xxxxxxxxx>]

What a friggin project you have going with your Eagle put together but I reply out of respect to that tried and true Gremlin that had to be sacrificed to make way for your new project. Everyone has their limits on how long to keep a "project car" going so I do not blame you for making the difficult choice. Having to part with anyone's Gremlin, though, has got to be one of the true heartaches in life. I've parted with an awful lot of $$$$$ for Gremlins over the last several years and even big $$$$$$$ may not get me to part with mine now. I wish you well with your new project and hope it gives you much satisfaction.  Gary
