My mom will be 90 this November and she's still driving, pretty darn good too! Been awhile since she got a speeding ticket, though, like maybe 10 yrs. She really likes to drive but is always cautious about knowing if her skills are slipping so has one of us "kids" go for a ride with her once in awhile.

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!

She has definitely spent some money on it over the years. Notice the Rotary A/C compressor under the hood and the neat silver hood pad insulation.

I've been negotiating with my cousins for the last year to buy my Uncle's car from his estate. One owner, 49K miles.
Used to borrow it in High School and used it when we were married in 79.

Jim --- I wonder if your uncle ever went 120mph in it.
