I've got a 58 ZB, but ruled it out as a daily driver as I would hate to see
it get smuushed. So far I've had two daily driver sports cars rear ended
and totalled.
For a 4 seater, I chose the Rover SD1. It's already equipped with the Rover
V8 and 5 speed. 5 doors, good looks AC and a modern simple suspension.
Desmogged with lowered suspension and euro headlights it'll be interesting
to take on the Japanese econobox crowd.
Since I had two people try to run me off the road today, the bigger car is a
safer bet for the daily commute.
Yeah, I should move. But then I'd have to get a real job somewhere.
