If you have not actually sat in or driven one of these DO IT before falling in love w/them. If you stare too much at the uniqueness, ruggedness, spare on the hood, bare bones just plain "coolness" of the whole thing you may become obsessed and you just might buy one of these old things. That's right, you may just drive 3 hours and be smitten and just HAVE to have one. Then you might not EVER get it to run right. You might spend a fortune at RoversNorth and on Ebay. You may just lose your frigggin mind trying to figure out the Lucas electrics and reverse polarities. You might not ever get the breaks to work right and have to pump the pedal 40 times to come to a complete stop. You may start buying kitty litter at costco for all the leaks as you just can't keep up with them. You may just end up throwing in the towel and selling the whole she-bang to someone on the internet for about half of what you have in it (not including sweat equity). And as the flatbed leaves your house taking the thing to Boston where someone else will suffer over it, you look in the back which really has no room as the "bench seats" take up the majority of space and you might think to yourself..."what in the Hell did I get this for". This is all just a hypethetical of course.

(it was '67 IIA 88 and truth be told, if I didn't get rid of it I wouldn't have bought the 914 that I then sold to buy the 911 so it was "kinda" happy ending.)
