> [@GaryM](#): > > **AMC Gremlin** > Where’s the rest of your car, Toots? The car in the commercial was a Gremlin, but wasn’t the commercial actually for some brand of motor oil - the idea being that if you didn’t get your oil changed regularly, you were only driving half a car? Because I kind of remember the car actually being cut in half in the commercial. Of course, I could be hallucinating the entire thing. I only remember it at all because my mom had a Gremlin at the time. Does anyone remember the commercial with a girl taunting her brother, “Hamster brain, hamster brain!” all sing-songy? Might be from the 80s now that I think about it… I seem to be the only one I know who remembers this, and everyone looks at me funny when I occasionally pull it from the depths and throw it at someone. ---
