I've owned my 4A for 56 years this coming June. It was my only car for the first 2 years (69 and 70) and driven in the weather regardless of how bad it was. I have no idea how it was driven from new in 1966 but based on its condition when I bought it, I doubt
it was driven in bad weather. Once put away the rust battle began culminating in a replacement frame in 1989 and finally a body tub from TX in 2008 and good fenders. The only original body panels are the "bonnet and maybe the RF Fender. It does get driven
in the rain only if unavoidable but otherwise stays dry. A labor of love and at almost 79 I still enjoy driving it. I hope to continue driving it as we transition to the mountains of Western NC this summer sometime. </div>

50 years ago when I was a lot dumber and a whole lot braver, I drove my tr3 from Morgantown, wv to New Martinsville, WV across a hilly twisty turnny WV road, while snowing. This is still one of my most favored memorable trips in my still drivable beast. Today
I'm afraid to take her out if it even looks like it might rain in the next 24 hours. I know the TR has not changed that much, So what the hell has happened to me?
