Rick is like the resident Rodney Dangerfield, 'It's Not Easy Bein Him, He don't get no respect'

And don't forget about the Pacer from Wayne's World - now that was a hot car! ::)

Besides the Pacer won an award a few years ago, check it out....

This is why I really hate the spoiled idiots that get picked to get their cars done on the show.  It's all a scam.  There is no way in the world people drive around with those beaters.  No way!! 

and as far as the pacer, it is and always be ugly.  You can put a ton of makeup on a pig, but it's still a pig

You know, I actually test drove one of those back in 1975.  A buddy stopped in at an American Motors dealership to get a part, and the salesman hit me up trying to sell me something.  He looked like Herb Tarlek on WKRP, but only a few years earlier because that show didn't start until 1978.  He had it all -- wide tie, bell bottom double-knit polyester paints, bold plaid jacket, and a toupe.  The car moved like it was constipated, and rode like a pickup.  I went home and took a shower and still felt dirty for a week. :-[ :-[ :-X

I would imagine an AMC salesman's shoes would have worn out in the back before the bottom from being propped up on a desk most of the time - couldn't have been too much traffic with that kind of line-up.

You know, if anbody's got a jones for a dork car I know where there is a Pacer for sale...sitting under an oak tree in the front yard.  He's got at least one other running one so maybe he's got some extra parts he'd sell too! :o :D  ::)

I can snap a pic if anybody's semi-serious... :-\
