I'd rather own a pacer than a mav, just can't find any. . . .

:
: : I've had similar experiences. In my college years ('86-'90), people
: : thought the Maverick/Comets were ugly cars. One guy in my school
: : even got featured in the local school newspaper for building a whole
: : farm scene on the hood and roof of his Comet. He used the ugly green
: : astro-turf type carpet, and glued model cows, barns, etc. He was quoted
: : as saying how he thought the Comet was the ugliest car ever made
: : (personally, my vote would have gone to the AMC Pacer--the goldfish
: : bowl on wheels).

: : Lately, though, I've been getting a lot of inquiries about my Comet,
: : usually to the effect of "I love that car!" or "I've never seen anything
: : like it--what is it?" I take the car into work every once in a while
: : when I haven't had the time to give it the proper exercise on the
: : weekends, and often have people asking about the car.

: : I think that as cars have become increasingly victim to "lookalike"
: : styling, the Mavericks and Comets stand out. Nobody has trouble figuring
: : out which car is mine when I take the Comet to work. With the exception
: : of Chrysler's new products, it seems most new cars all seem to blend
: : together, without anything to make them unique. That's one reason why
: : I love my Comet--there's nothing like it.
