      /insert fat joke here

      Not so much in the '70s. Everyone was way skinnier then. I know, cuz I was around then.

      So I THINK they meant taller,. We’ve always been a bit taller than most others.

      Yeah, I don’t really find it that awkward. The copywriters of that time were trying to make ads much more personal though, so not nearly as much corporate-speak like we get today. It was all like, “Would you like it if…” and “You’re gonna love this…” kinda vibes.

    My dad had an Omni from around that time. It was OK, though I don’t really remember much about it.

    I had an '85 Omni GLH Turbo. Then we had our first kid. I’d love to have that car back.
