I agree that these are good hobby cars, if you are into that. But as a daily driver (6,000 miles a year) for a non technical woman they are very bothersome as something is frequently out of whack or broken.

With 108K miles on ours it seems to me things get broken and wear out way more often than they should.

This car still gets a lot of positive attention on the street and it does have a classic look but it is consuming way too much of our time and money to be worth it anymore. We've had the car for eight years and there has never been a time when everything on it has been mechanically right or not feeling worn out. Time to move on.
