Steve,
go for it!
I have found that this kind of car is the ideal companion to a Spridget.
When the noise, choppy ride, and crampedness get to you, you drive the
boat for a couple of days and love it. Then, when the fact that you have
to almost come to a standstill for every corner gets to you, you switch
back to the Spridget and love it!

'71 Olds 98 (455 with unbelieveable torque)
