Yeah-man. There is something immensely satisfying about using up a car. My
first car was an MGB that saw 3 Albany winters and all the tricks necessary to
survive them at college (and to successfully date my now-wife). At my son's
high school, there is a 1275 Midget that one of the kids drives everyday, even
throughout this winter (white with Wisconsin plates, garish gold Rostyles if
anyone knows the car). Some will blanch at this, but it looks incredible
covered in winter crap.
I think I have never completely bonded with my street Bugeye because I don't
use it daily. I have tried, but it ends up being sporadic. My 1978 Alfa
currently has clear packing tape covering 2 cracks in the rear window plastic
from the cold, and winter floor mats that I need to take out. It is
under-appreciated by the masses and the sportscar market and some would argue
by me for using it as my "beater", but I disagree.
