Frankly,
I am so, so tired of being pulled over just because my car "looks fast".
That is just plain BS and I have had it.
Just took a photo of it as I am getting rid of it.

I am serious when I say my very first car was an AMC Pacer back in the early 80's, beofr Wayne's World was even thought of.

It was recently voted worst car of all time, but it served me just fine.

No wonder we hit it off in Orlando.
I had it's worse car cousin, the Gremlin!!!

That was my first car too.

My best friend drove a Gremlin. My Pacer had dents in the interior roof from me going over large speed bumps in NJ and whacking my head on the roof.

The thing had no shocks.

The back hatch provided plenty of room for those tender teen dating moments at the drive in though.....

Pete,
Another thing in common.
You had your Pacer in NJ and I had my Gremlin there too.

What exit?

Great ... Toyota Matrix, #10 most ticketed. I got more tickets in my Cadillac.

Only ticket I've gotten in the last 10 years has been on my Harley, on the way to a bike fest out in Leesburg with my wife on the back, both of us in leather, doo rags, and full rally gear. (weekend warrior gear)

We were riding through a small town and apparantly a couple thousand bikers before us thought the country roads were scenic as well and the cops were around every turn. My pipes tend to rattle windows and set off car alarms as well as send small children and animals running.

Took the online driver improvement course, lost the points, and avoid that hillbilly town at all costs.

I really adore AMC cars! They were way ahead of the themselves in both technology and style. Such amazing cars in retrospect. The Pacer with Levi's demin interior! Love to have denim interior now! AMX...
