We all love our Healey's or we would not own them. But do we really 
appreciate them?  We drive cars today that all out perform and out handle 
our Healeys.  I don't care what we are driving, from the lowest Korean 
import to the exotics, or the luxury models, they probably all blow the 
doors off our beloved beasts.  I realized the other day when I was driving 
my recently restored 1950 Dodge Coronet 4 door sedan what driving a Healey, 
in it's day, must have felt like.  The cars of the 1950's and 60's mostly 
could not compare to a Healey in performance or handling.  The ride of the 
Dodge is more comfortable but certainly much more boring.  For any of you 
who can get the opportunity to drive a family sedan of the 50's or 60's it 
would most certainly give you better understanding of how truly wonderful 
our beautiful Austin Healey's really are.
