I took me 4/4 out on a drive Friday afternoon, here in west/central NJ. It
was ruddy stuff, with grey skies, a chill wind, and leaves swirling
everywhere. Heavy rains were in the forecast. Just the ticket for a rough
and ready car like the mog. Top down, side curtains packed away somewhere
in the garage "what are these for, anyway?", heater on full tilt (but,
'why?') and the rumble of my potent 1500cc pushrod four to urge me through
the scenery. It was fantastic. Someone will have to explain the whole
scheme to me: why does driving the mog in marginal weather like this seem
utterly and completely appropriate? If the top were up I'd feel like some
sort of a danged fool.
God I love this car.
