I replaced headlights, taillights and corners as often as I put gas in it. I have to admit though, I really liked that little car. I wish I still had it to beat around town or as a commuter car in the summer.

I rode that thing like a hooker on dollar day and it never once left me stranded.

We still own mine, but it has stranded me a few times. Well not stranded, clutch cable went easily 4-5 times and every time I limped it with no clutch.

Well I can assure you if you USE the car a lot it will. Mine has seen rain twice and was finished in July, put in storage in November. On the way home from Myrtle Beach, and a trip to NH it saw rain both times. Now if you don't take it on trips or for weekends, maybe not, but what fun is that!

Indiana winters are not so bad.

We could get snowed in like Michigan,wisconsin,minnesota.

I have driven my stang all winter. It gets around just fine.

Sorry your car got crunched though it does suck.

I envy you. Arizona is perfect for the car guy. Unless you like shiny paint but have no garage. Other than that, its perfect driving weather year round.
