All of this talk lately about dream cars, and best vehicles ever driven has gotten me thinking. As usual you apostates all so wrong. Let me explain, the true order of cars, the one and great vehicle, as intelligently designed by Elohim himself, and passed down to mankind through his servant, President Romney Sr. is the GMC Hornet.

Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking. Wasn't the Hornet a crap car? Blasphemy, the problem wasn't with the car, but with the worthiness of the drivers and passengers. Did your clutch give out? Obviously you were masturbating. Bad transmission? More masturbating. Did you car seem to come with some factory defects? No, the problem was your defect in touching your little factory. Bald tires? You are supposed to diligently change those, which you wouldn't have had to do as often if you paid a full and honest tithe.

Also, as I have pointed out in another post, there are no such things as empty temple parking lots, as they are always overflowed with righteous Mormon temple goers's very own GMC Hornets, which you simply can not see, because your spiritual eyes are not finely tuned to see them. Of course these super righteous TBM families know that they have been truly blessed with such wonderful cars, so they only drive them on special occasions, such as going to the temple, or to volunteer in the local community, or other common Mormon activities that you somehow think they slack on.

Why is it you are only hearing about this now? Because the owners of all these special cars are really humble, and don't brag about them, and because when the subject was brought up, your ears were deaf to it, because you were busy thinking unclean thoughts about that young hot girl who recently got kicked out of the singles ward for being a single mom, and has started showing up to sacrament meeting in those short knee length skirts. You dirty perverts.

AMC. Can you say Matador, Gremlin, Hornet?

Truly inspired by God.

You forgot the Pacer. How could you forget the Pacer?

The first 4WD Station Wagon.

No, the Jeep Wagoneer would be the first family style station wagon, by many many years......

Also forgot The Javelin....had a 1969 one for awhile and was a fun car to drive and look sharp as well.

I actually liked the Pacer; if Mr. Potato Head had a car, he'd drive a Pacer....

Ow. I forgot about the humiliation I endured growing up because of my mom's hunter green Hornet Sportabout wagon. Automatic transmission. Ugh. Damned thing stalled on my driver's test too.

Hey, you forgot the Javelin!

The AMX is badass. Even today. And worth about $50k if straight and original.

The rest of the AMC lineup was equally badass...as long you could keep you hands off yourself. haha

The AMX rivaled all the other muscle cars of it era. Truly badass! And I didn't think the Javelin was that bad either. The rest of them sucked.....

One of the best looking muscle cars of all time IMO. I think Mark Donahue drove the hell out of them in the old Can-Am series.

My bud bought one out of a guy's storage shed for $1700 bucks about 25 years ago. All original Hugger Orange...still has it.

Love the "Number XX of XX" tags on each dashboard.

And the rest of AMC was truly junk. They tried to build cars on the cheap and were the ultimate definition of "planned obsolescence."

I can see Mittster's old man's influence all over that strategy.

I lost my virginity in an AMC Nash Rambler to a Missy Mormon. Still haven't gotten Peter Presthood um straightened out quite right.

Rambler's were great. Dad loved that car too. Drove one in '69-70 all my guy friends wanted to drive it since it had so much power. Let one drive it around the parking lot once. I know foolish.

Drove a Hornet on my mission. Used it and abused it.

Hey, wait! Didn't the missionaries all drive AMC cars . . . And wasn't Mitt's dad the head of AMC???? No wonder they were the true order of cars!

The hornet was originally the hot car for Hudson Motor Car Co.
1952-3-4
It went bust and evolved into the George Romney Car family AKA American motors.

The V8 powered Gremlin was a hot little number. My cousin had one, and it would break loose if you punched it! But of course, he couldn't touch my 68 Boss Mustang. ;)

There was a Hornet before AMC, the Hudson Hornet. I got to drive one once.. It was considered fast for it's time, early 1950's. Now they're becoming a desirable classic!

I owned one AMC product. It was a 1966 Rambler American two-door hardtop. This was a good-looking little car with a big straight-6 and was pretty quick for a Rambler. It's classic lines still resonate.

I had a yellow Javelin with a black vinyl top. I was 23 and single.

I had a lot of fun when I owned that car. A lot of trips between Portland and Seattle.

I was a Mish in Detroit, Papa Romney was there...
I forget if he was both Gov & SP at the same time, but I sat in SC with him speaking, he seemed pretty OK. After, we drove to his house but weren't invited in.

Missionaries... people in Detroit thought we were cops or FBI!
We lived in a member's basement apt.

What about the righteous Pinto? One of my aunts had a bada$$ (or not) orange and white Pinto hatchback with optional exploding gas tank. After they had a few kids, they traded up to a Pinto wagon in avocado green with gen-u-i-ne (or not) wood paneling. Oy@the 70's.
