The first car that I had actual use of, was a 1972 burnt orange Gremlin. That car lived up to it's name, as I swear it was infested with gremlins. Was always having problems with it. Among other things, it had a tendancy of not wanting to start up. So, I would have to get out, pop the hood, and then take a wrench, or some other metal item and give the battery cables a few hits, then go back and try to start the car. Usually it would start up after having done that to the battery cables. One of the previous owners of the car had also modified it somehow, so that when setting the choke (a manual choke), I had to put the gas pedal all the way to the floor while pulling the choke knob at the same time, as my dad said there was still some remnant left from the automatic choke that was in the car originally. It also had a straight 6 cylinder engine in it. For having had that, the car could still move pretty good.
The only car in the AMC family that I never thought looked any good was the AMC Pacer, as made famous in the movie "Wayne's World". Now that car looked like a pregnant Gremlin. lol
