I believe that Homer calls those SPEED HOLES

That one should be pretty fast then :P

Without turning this into another brand vs brand thread, there is tons of people who would rather save XXX car and shoot an AMC and vice versa. There's people who would save an Escort or Cavalier over any AMC. It really just all depends on what you like and why you like it.

I was in highschool during the days when The Fast and The Furious had just come out and I got a lot of anti-american car talk from all the kids who ran out and picked up imports. They couldn't understand why I'd drive a gas guzzling american car. I couldn't understand why they'd dump 10K into paint and body kits on a probe, civic or celica [3 most common cars I saw] that still got destroyed by anything they tried to race. They hated my car, for no reason other than it was american made. What didn't make sense to me, was the kids with ford's who gave me 'anti american car' speak... hah.  :rotfl:

Even now, where I work everyone but me drives a 'done up' import. 99% front wheel drive, 4 cylinder. Which to me, is just incredibly boring..can't stand FWD.. but if they enjoy it, good for them. They only thing is they aren't nearly as obnoxious as the people I went to HS with. They've even invited me out to the track with them a few times.

There is always going to people who prefer one brand over another or one decade to another, one engine to another, etc. What matters is we all enjoy the hobby.

Most of the holes look like .22 and maybe some .9mm in there but that hole in the quarter panel looks like some pretty serious fire power....that one looks like the fatal shot the others are just flesh wounds.

a shotgun up close with bigger pellets will punch a hole in a body panel like that.

I fired a shotty at an old van one time from about 8 feet, and the hole was big enough to fit yer fist in.
