I think we’re getting somewhere now.
Buster, it’s a nice shape, kinda Panera-ish, but I’ll never be able to touch one, much less drive it.
The Eagle on the other hand....

The Eagle was certainly their most original effort. AMX III looks like it would have been an interesting chapter, though.
I think I made the right choice using that Pantera money as a down payment on a house. But I do have my doubts.
Given the choice amongst 4 doors, it's hard to deny a vehicle that inspires poetry such as this:Quote:

I think.
Is that the Archimedean Recursive Half Sport Wagon?
I thought your were drawing points.
Years ago in the spring after the lifts had closed, we went for a hike up to ski patches on Cascade at Killington. Feeling pretty accomplished getting some good laps in up there we rested between runs. Out of nowhere a dark blue AMC Eagle wagon with the trademark wood side panels emerged from the work road below us and proceeded to park on the side of the trail. This very eye catching couple got out and God dammit if the didn't have the most smug " I just drove up here in my classy 4wd wood grained wagon and you didn't" look on there faces..... I still remember it to this day. It's like these fuckers had just finished shooting an AMC commercial down in the valley and decided to let off some steam.... They really weren't very friendly either, it was like we were crowding their perfect AMC Eagle world. I won't forget them....
We tend to moreso jump to conclusions round here.Quote:

Inclined to agree with you and maybe that's just my point - something just didn't add up. It was like they escaped from Westworld.....
I knew a smug Gremlin owner.
I guess they never got it wet or fed it after midnight?
