One of our friends retired from the CIA, he, his wife and 3 crabby teenagers moved to N California. His wife immediately got a job where she had to commute to work and left home before 8 am in their Ford Vickie.
Our friend picked the AMC Gremlin because it was so ugly and out of style for his vehicle. The teen agers never drove it and would only ride in it to school, if it was raining, and they made their dad drop them off about a block away from school so no one could see them in the car with their dad. When the last kid left home, he bought the big Mercury and kept the Gremlin if the kids came home and needed a car.
