Kudos Tony.
It's a great feeling to know your machine that well, ain't it?
And...
1. No monthly car payment.
2. Repair time usually shorter than you'd spend waiting for someone else to do it (maybe bungle it too).
3. Reasonable repair/maintenance costs.
4. Priceless satisfaction that I suspect high end owners never experience.

1985 244 "Alfsen" (wife's car - the good one)
1984 245 "Buster" (the kid's car, now sold)
1985 245 "Cosmo" (parts car, sold off for move to WA)
1985 245 "Daisy" (back seat down, full of tools, the work truck)
1985 245 "Earl (CA vehicle 'retirement' program)
Can you tell I prefer the 1985 model 240? Better headlights than the plastic 1986+ and nicer belt adjustments than the 1984s and earlier!
