Re: Welcome home Abby!
Thanks for your kind words! Well, it's actually fairly easy. The Healey is rarely driven -- it's a trailer queen restoration, so it doesn't move much. The Tiger's engine generates a LOT of heat in the passanger compartment, so on a hot day, it's really uncomfortable to sit in it. Plus, like all of its ilk, it's prone to over-heating on warm days. So, on the average DC summer day, the Tiger stays home. As for the C and the 250, they're such different cars in terms of behavior. The C is outrageously fast, while the 250 is utterly nimble. If I'm in the mood for speed, it's the C. If I want to take the park into work and work the turns, it's the 250 all the way.
In any event, the Lotus gets the drive to and from work most days, because it's got air bags, a crash cage, and air conditioning!
