A Call For Humor!

Of course, American Motors owned Jeep for a while, too.
We had a (hand-me-down) 1984 Jeep "Wagoneer" (which was the then-new Cherokee with fancier trim), too.
It was wont to rust and included possessed parts and systems that would fail in real time. Quite a remarkable engineering feat, in retrospect.
I think AMC probably bundled their planned obsolescence IP suite to what has now become Stellantis?

The more I think about this new Pro-Ject tt... the more I think there's real opportunity for Pro-Ject to supplant Teenage Engineering and work with IKEA to debut the SAAB V4-powered two stroke, 3-cylinder I/C powered Türntäbøl.

just knew that, were I to mention the AMF era, someone would jump in and amplify, modify, or correct!
Though I must admit, I wasn't expecting it to be you, my good man!

AMF had gathered a bunch of industrial companies, like Potter & Brumfield, Paragon Timer, and Tuboscope in Houston. So, lots of interesting stuff to do.

I hear turbines run way more smoothly with lots more torque at low rpm, Saab got quite a few terrific offers there as well

I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.

Had the Grand Cherokee, quite liked it. 4 km with 16" snow and not a plough in sight, like a dream. And no rust

My first car, Saab V4 Ford 1968. Should have rescued the engine for Shakin' Stevens.

Herr Sperling should reconsider the logo design of his Kanalservice company...

Yeah...if we are talking cars and not jets.

I had a Saab 9-5 2.3 "Light Turbo" (as they called it) and it was astonishingly fast. I lived in Miami at the time and my wife and I would sometimes drive to Atlanta to see her sister/BIL. Did someone say "Road Trip!!!!!"?

Once you got into the "wilds" of I-95, the acceleration was just this smooth push and you would look down and be doing 110mph. You didn't feel that you were as there was no drama/noise as you went from say 65 to 110 in a short time.

Forgot to add...the concept of turbo lag didn't seem to exist.

Not really, it's a back-up service....

It surprised me they didn't try to soften up her looks for the trial..change of hair colour, a softer cut, maybe some make up to soften some of the harder angles.

All I would see, if I was a juror would be "witch"
