Not trying to throw any shade! I've ridden in a couple of Cadillacs of a similar style, I totally get the appeal. Logically cars like that make complete sense to me. But I'm pretty sure that Healey imprinted on me, I enjoy the hell out of driving but the more comfortable the car is the less I enjoy it. It becomes a chore to accomplish whatever it is I'm doing (like commuting to work) instead of something I enjoy doing for itself. Driving is an experience for me, not just a way to get somewhere else. It's weird, I get it.
Yep, still own it. It's the reason why I've tried so hard not to tear my Mopars all the way down for a restoration. I probably put close to 100k miles on it, using it as a daily driver through high school, the last few years of college and my first few years of work with the Forest Service, with substantial commutes for all of them. Plus the road trips, large and small. When I was in college I used to just drive canyons for a few hours to clear my head. I tore it down for a rebuild, changed jobs, bought a house, bought my Challenger, bought my Duster, you get where this is going.
I finally have it back in my new shop so I can start working on getting it back together again.
