We don’t see many
American cars over here. They’re generally not very popular except for some 50’s and 60’s that are the dream cars of American-Auto clubs.
I actually saw a
Hummer a few days ago. What happened to
Jeep? Are they no longer the workhorse they used to be? The Jeep was great. We used to steal them in Vietnam and drive them like maniacs till they ended up stuck deep in a rice paddy, where we’d leave them with turds floating over the rocker panels and onto the floorboards. I don’t think the Vietnamese liked it very much and we probably contributed to a lot of them joining the Viet-Cong.
Anyway, those Jeeps were the best. I remember the Army bought some
Ford Broncos and I had a chance to steal one of those too. Useless! They could get stuck in a dried out gopher hole.
Anyway, what I really want to know is something about the
Chrysler. I’ve seen a couple of those new ones and they remind me of the Hummer. It’s that style that I know I should think is ugly but I don’t. They (the Hummer and the Chrysler) have that boxy look and I think it’s nice. I suspect they were inspired by the
Citroën BX models with the squared-off wheel wells. So what gives? Is the Hummer owned by Chrysler? Why do they look so much alike?
