- If you DON'T drive it as your everyday car (which it sounds like you don't), and keep it locked in your garage, I'd look into classic insurance. I use Hagerty myself. $158/year for 100,000 liability

- Okay, here's a totally weird thought... Why not 20/50 engine oil? It's 20W oil at room temp, that thins out no more than straight 50W would under heat. So couldn't one say it's actually stabler (i.e.
