Who'da thunk an inability to put yer socks on without a trip tot he ER would become a topic of conversation?
Dodge in the 80's. Kind of hard to look at much of anything Dodge produced after 1976/77 with fondness. We had Diplomats for Troop cars in the 80's, awful things. Whole front end would shimmy across the road at speed in a corner if it wasn't glass smooth. We had one years worth of cars that had the paint on the hoods peel off almost all of them and we bought cars 500 at a time. 10 years earlier we were running Furys and they were great cars.
Chevy Burbs, IHC Travel/Carry-alls and Jeep Wagoneers. We had scads of Wagoneers in my area. Carswell Motors sold both Jeep and IHC and the Jeeps definitely had the larger market share. Again, Jeep in the 80's was nothing to brag on once they allied with AMC/Renault and started producing the Cherokees. We had a couple, not Jeeps high point. But as far as utilty and comfort, I don't think anything surpasses the Burb for the farm/outdoorsy/family guy. The only station wagon that oozes testosterone!
Laid up most of yesterday with Mr Heating Pad. Did just a little sheetrock work with my daughter and then she ran the calculator while I finalized my income tax package. Kinda nice having a kid that is OCD enough to catch dads mistakes. Gordy took care of all the outside chores. Dang it's nice having a 16 year old that likes doing stuff on his own. Porkchops, noodles and peas for supper. Not a bad day overall considering how it started!
