excited about my first "proper" car
My wife and I purchased a 1963 Austin Healey Sprite last fall and almost immediately put it away for the winter in my father-in-law's barn. That was a risky thing to do, seeing as he used to have a 1964 specimen back in the day in the same cream color. We did get it back this spring though
My own experience with cars is somewhat limited and, let's say, mostly muddied with severe disdain for anything with more than 2 wheels. I started out on bikes and only began driving as a necessity when I got into track riding and racing. I did use to have a 1969 Pontiac LeMans. It came into my possession from a friend, and I must admit, I got it into a fender bender. Still, I kind of enjoyed it, but it was such an incredible gas hog and it was automatic, and it just felt like a bigger slower version of the vans I was used to driving. Mostly it was a novelty that passed. I don't particularly miss it.
But we are now living in a house of our own in the NY capital region and have a little bit of room for projects beside my race bike(s). So we found this little guy:
Upon taking it out of the in-laws' barn, the car has been running well. This is the first car I didn't actually hate. In fact, I positively love this car! I do have some questions and concerns, but that's for another thread. Thanks for letting me join the party!
