I like the '71-'72 Javelin's tail lights better than the later square ones, though.

Have a family member with a <40k mi AMC Pacer-X in Metallica Bronze.
It gets more comments and turns more heads and has more stories than a $300,000 Porsche parked next to it.

AMC as a brand has always intrigued me. That and Studebaker.

Question 5: In a much earlier Sheep Game, we decided that the 1980s was the best decade of all for cars. However, when you consider this pile of crap was put on sale in the 1980s, I don’t know how you could say that.

In the quietest, most boring manner possible, yes. I still watch because I'm amazed by the speed and driver's skill, but the cars have gotten dull.

At least they changed the starting procedure to a single clutch instead of the computer controlled double clutch of last year. The start has been the most exciting part of f1 this year.
