more people then I though in Fort Wayne, IN remember the Eagle.

Today when I went to out to pick up some supplies. I had 4 people ask me about my car in 2 hours. One was a kid my age, that went to the same college I go to. Ask me about it after I had my cellphone out and he noticed the picture on my phone, first thing he asked was what year my AMC Eagle was, which caught me by surprise, he then asked if he could see it and started telling his friend that was with him all about the history of the car. Then later I had a person ask questions as I got out of the car at a local wal-mart, one while putting my supplies in car then the cart people working for wal-mart were standing around my car after I put the cart back. They also remembered the car and all said the same thing "sure do not see those around very often". So far just in the few months I have lived in the city I have lost count of the people who have said that. If I had a dollar for every-time someone asked me about Laverne or said they remembered the cars and had thought about buying one I could have probably paid off a college classe. Most be because of where I live. Love having this car.
