1974 AMC Gremlin haha nope review from North America
"A seriously fun car, not great, but fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well the actual car was pretty terrible. It was entirely possible to read a Russian novel between stepping on the accelerator and feeling and resemblance of forward motion. The fit and finish was terrible.
General comments?
Well I had the car for such a short time because while driving, I was smoking, and when I put the lighter back in, something fried, and set fire to the dash. I stopped and watched my beloved car burn. This was before cell phones so I was hopeless. I did salvage the fuzzy dice though. I'd buy one again, even though they aren't great.
