Re: Answers to my own questions... ALL all

I think that I just remembered why...

The seats in that damn thing are so comfortable (great for long drives!) that I've thought about having wheels put on one for the den.

The wagon, with the back seat folded, can carry all kinds of crap.

The suspension, with poly bushings and good shocks 'n struts, is excellent. Very firm, but not overly harsh, and yet extremely comfortable on the highway at 75mph. Excellent feedback, something that you don't experience much of on FWD cars.

It doesn't look like a Sardine can on wheels.

The M46...a manual tranny that has decent ratios and doesn't require constant "rowing" in traffic. What a notion!

I can work on it myself, without a garage worth of expensive specialty tools.

It looks funky, but in a cool kind of way.

It will always be "something different"......
