Can’t wait until the green slime is over. My oak trees turn my truck green.
Warmer days are coming. Probably go 40s to high 80s overnight.
No spring -no fall- no more. .

Thanks Mark. I'm getting a late start, due to the miserable excuse for a spring. That's probably why I had good luck. The water is still pretty cold though, so they're not spawning yet. I washed my truck around 11am the other day, and by 6pm it was green.

Actually Andy I'm an Oldsmobile guy myself. 7 Cutlasses, a Rallye 350, a 442, an Omega, a Cutlass wagon, and a 2dr 98.
As far as AMC goes, the AMX was their best attempt, IMHO.

I started getting out of it when I had my bigger boat, and more so when I got the Harley. Now I hardly ride the bike anymore, and spend my free time freshwater fishing with the little boat.

I swapped a bathroom vanity for an AMC Gremlin. The design was ahead of its time. Liked Oldsmobiles and the song
Rockit 88

There's a guy that comes to car shows around here, with a blown 401 in a Gremlin. Gasser style, straight axle and all.
