Suit yourself. I'm just going to fix my charging system and make sure that I have a good battery. Wealthy people originally owned these cars AND would not put up with having to pop the hood for a jump from a battery stored where the golf clubs are supposed to be. Frequent non-start because of battery or charger = pp maintenance.
