    BRRR! it must be chilly in there.
    I've never been much for bowling but I didn't know people polished their bowling shoes. I've never seen slip on bowling shoes before either.

    AMC was going to source the rotary engine from GM, as they were going to market their own Wankel powered car. As with the Pacer, GM already tooled up the cars when the deal fell through with Mazda. That's where we get the Monza, Skyhawk, Sunbird and Omega from.

    You gotta be jokin' me. I don't care what it is she's sellin' - I'm buyin' some.
    I don't even care that she's probably 80+ now - that is an image worth saving for posterity.
