  Fact check.

"It's like driving to work in a Formula 1 race car for a year and then 
you lose it and someone gives you a 1984 AMC Gremlin."

The AMC Gremlin was a 70's-only  car, it was produced for the model 
years 1970 to 1978.  I remember in 1970, the Gremlin was all the talk of 
my classmates in the 3rd grade.  You could drive one home then for 
around $1,850.  If you threw in another $100 you got back seats and a 
hatchback.

Popular Mechanics' April 1970 take on America's first subcompact car 
(the Pinto and Vega were introduced for the 1971 model year):
