RE: IML: Found Imperials

If I may offer another 2 cents - 

I drive about 10 miles one way to work each day.  I needed to replace my "work" car in the near future.  I could buy a used "whatever" for $8-10K, and have respectable, reliable transportation for years to come.  OR, I could slowly resurrect a classic, 60's, like what I drove in my teens, and be thrilled with every trip to the grocery store!

Obviously, I am enjoying my drives everyday.  I'm at $8000 into it right now, and I couldn't be happier.  She's not quite "reliable", certainly not "respectable", uses a bit more gas but, there ain't nobody around that put the same thought process into action - and I love every minute of this hobby.
