Well sure... I all makes sense now that I'm older and smarter...
But like I said, then, I was young and stupid... 8-)
It was 30 years ago, I was only 18, and it was my first car. And it wasn't
like
the TR-4 was an old valuable car - at the time, it was just a 7 year old,
cheap,
fun car. But my justification for having it was good gas milage - 25 mpg on my
daily 70 mile round trip to college (gotta love the overdrive!!) - 14 mpg on
the
weekends. But the weekends were a lot of fun.... 8-)
Still wish I had it too...
