In 1976 it would more likely have been AMC Gremlins. And everyone knows that Global Warming is caused by Gremlins.

That's funny. They looked like an old person's orthotic shoes.

Do you remember bumper stickers that went something like this?:

'Think globally, act locally, panic internally'

I wonder if these people ever had their first date? What a miserable way to live.

Yes, though not the "panic internally" part. More often than not it sat next to the compulsory "Imagine World Peace".

I solved that with my trusty old '75 Subaru wagon, a few bags of Quikrete in the back. Didn't always work but it helped a lot.

Yes I had cement blocks and bags of concrete in the back during the winter...then I got the hell out of driving in the snow! (1977)
