This is so neat: Morgans can be many things to many people; they can
be raced, they can be driven solely on paved roads without a speck of NaCl
(road salt to the chemically challenged), they can provide endless joy and
frustration simply being worked on, and they can be brought to a level of
perfection worthy of Pebble Beach. What a car!
