T-96 woes (things not to say to sweeties)
OfflineYep, having lots of fun.
I've started getting interested in joining a club that goes for drives
once a month. Just local drives, then a few longer weekend and a
week-long jaunt. Sounded like fun.
I tried to convince my wife to come along by telling her that Rambler
American sedans were mainly driven by aunts and grannies - and she
could dress up like a circa '65 Aunt Gerty.
That didn't go over so well. I wonder why. After all, I didn't ask her
to dress up like Granny Smith, my favorite green apple. Just a Gerty,
or maybe a Prudence.

Girls in Ramblers did other things (at least in the eyes of Rambler
marketeers). Try these on her:

Bruce,
Don't feel bad, my wife says she feels like an animai on a circus train when we take the 1965 American out because of how many people point, stare and comment...she hates riding shotgun,
