What Is The Biggest Risk You've Ever Taken?

Luckily, Disco, Bell Bottoms, and the Gremlin were before my time. Anybody older than 40 should feel deep shame for all 3 things.

Harvey,

I'm over 40 but I take no responsiblility in the creation, manufacturing, or distribution of this car.

The Gremelin(made by American Motors--home of the Rambler) is an example that American made econonomy cars were piles of scrap during that era. The GMC Vega, the Ford Pinto, the Chrysler made Horizon were all economy cars with serious flaws.

American maufacturers just could not make the quality economy cars like the Honda, Toyota, or Datsun manufacturers could.

I have to admit, however, that my first car was the former family '65 Rambler Ambassador station wagon. It was actually a pretty good car, except during the winter when it would not start in weather colder than 20 degrees.(It had the luxury of being in the family garage during its heyday.)

I discovered during my senior year at Marquette University, that I was receiving half a dozen calls from coeds asking me to move them to new apartments, etc. They did not want me for my mind, charisma, or even my body. They wanted me for my station wagon!

Like a hopeful schmuch hoping to score, I helped them with the move. The most action I ever got was warmed-up frozen pizza.

I felt so violated...

Hey. That's a NICE looking one. Most of them were not that nice.

Hey , mine was! I had an 'X' model.
The darn thing ran for 14 years!!!!! Would probably still be going, but the body rusted out and the doors fell off.
...............and there wasn't much room in the back for child seats.

The bottom line is you tried and for that I have nothing but admiration.

Which river in Maine, Woodbuck?

I did some canoeing on the Kennebec River which was placid. I did one trip on the Carabassette(sp?) which had some whitewater.

OPF

LOL!

GrnBay007,

I was only emotionally violated. I longed to be violated in another way!
