Somedays... you have to wonder how unsafe roads are, when you have to wake up people in the morning commute

Get ready for a shocking cool story... 2 AMC Spirits raced the 1979 24 hours of Nürburgring with two Penske prepared Eagle Spirits in 1979

And they didn’t just race. They finished 1-2 in class, but there’s a lot more to the story. The drivers — which included IndyCar racer Lyn St. James and James Brolin — came to Nürburgring without ever having driven the track. So, they recruited a local to show them around the place. This local turned out to be a WWII veteran named Heinz who lost his right arm while serving as the captain in a Panzer tank.

The record AMC broke, that you never heard of

The formation of the American Motors Corporation was the result of the 1954 merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company, which at the time was the largest corporate merger in U.S. history.

The merger yielded a net worth of over $150 million, back when being a millionaire meant something.

Not that you care about Pacers... but this is pretty odd

The passenger side door was 4 inches longer than the drivers side.  Made getting in and out of the back seat a bit easier.. but why not make the divers side door the same length?
