Grandma Gremlin's suggestion ,news, and Gremlin value

["Paul Gable" <pdgable@xxxx>]

Hi all,
I know I've already posted like four messages today, but here is one
more. Allena MacDougall is a special lady that I have adopted as my
internet Grandma and I feel that her request is a good one. Since
most of you have no profiles listed at onelist, I'd like to know what
the makeup of our little club is. I'm 31, a journalism student at San
Diego State, a server at an International House of Pancakes, and the
formost Gremlin expert of our time. Honestly, my hobby is Gremlins. I
have an extensive collection of Gremlin memorabilia including but not
limited to toys, books, owners manuals, magazine ads, articles from
mags of the 70s, and dealer brochures. This hobby isn't cheap but
it's a good site better than doing drugs. I rarely drink, I do smoke
however. I have a girlfriend named Shannon who I am very much in love
with. No she does not own a Gremlin but she likes mine. Now let's
hear from the rest of you. Especially those who have not posted
anything yet.

Now the news. The news is that the Gremlin is now considered a
classic car at least in the eyes of autotrader publications. The
Gremlin is not even listed anymore on their regular site so all
Gremlins for sale are only listed in the COllector Car portion of
their site. It is good to hear that my prediction has finally come
true that the Gremlin is THE collector car of the new millinium.

Here are the Gremlins currently for sale on their site. Check out
them prices!!! Hang on to those Gremlins gang, they'll put your kid
through college!!!
