[Mrs. Curmudgeon wonders how I can hate a car as much as I flake out over the AMC Gremlin. All I can say is she never rode in one. (A commenter Rickrolled me with one once. Well played!)]
For some reason the AMC Gremlin is not in most people’s minds as an atrocity. I can’t fathom why. They’re wrong… it’s definitely a wheeled abomination.
I’ve mentioned the AMC Gremlin before. You might be interested in the totally true story below:
I’m with you…..they are UuuuGLeeee. Of course the Pacer drops right into second place. And did they actually pay people to “design” these things???? If they were full of fuel and $20 a dozen they would be too much.
Oh, come now…
It was a favorite pastime on the AF base where my father was posted back in the ’70s to replace the engine in a Gremlin with a Chev V8 and take it to the strip for racing.
Very amusing, and they surely burnt rubber appallingly well…

Everything is better with a V8 in it!
I once had a 69 dodge dart. It was ugly in a way. loved that sucker though. quietest car I ever had. Had to get rid of the three on the tree and put it on the floor. I also repainted it a dark forest green and redid the interior to a nice dark mahogany color.
I did say I loved that thing?

I drove a Gremlin for 22 years before I gave it away. It was my only wood hauler for two cold Kansas winters.
Pussies like yourself use trucks, trailers, etc.
If you hauled firewood in a Gremlin you are indeed tougher than nails.
