Daily driving an A-body

From my experience, the old cars are much easier to work on, but also have issues a lot more often (or need more regular work) than something newer. I have had some really solid old cars that I would take anywhere, but like these guys said, it takes some real time/energy to get to that point. This is especially true if you drive far, or a lot...

I say if your current DD is paid for, and without issues, drive it. If you are making payments, or it is on it's way out, the old A-body may "help" your situation.

Just remember, everything that your DD needs is like taking 1 step backward on your "project". Both from the $ aspect, as well as the time needed to tinker/fix stuff.
