Yup, it's my only car. I commute with a bicycle though.
Does wonders for reliability. My car hasn't broken down in years (except
when the damn Crane ignition module died), I think that is due to regular
exercise.
It also complicates work scheduling since I don't want to disable the car
for too long. It makes it less special to drive a Sprite since I do it
all the time - except those moments when the top comes off after a while
of "cave dwelling".
Yes I do use the top occasionally.
I bet Jeff couldn't find his if he had to...
