Just to offer the other side, some of us (I know you're out there) like
the look of fat tires stuffed under the fenders of our Spridgets. I
don't think it takes away the fun especially with a hot 1275 or 1380,
although some may disagree. That's the beauty of this list, all we
require is an appreciation of our cars.
