I don't rightly know. It's my only 4-wheeled vehicle, but I don't drive much. Driving sucks, but driving a Ghia does not suck. It's getting taken on a 600 mile road trip soon. The good camera will be with me, so a travelogue/photojournalistic endeavor may follow.

Franknstn,
You only have to drive one mile to have the guy in the Porsche 911s craning his head out the side window as he drives by to check out your car for the restoration to be worth it.
But 30 miles a day here unless it's raining. |

| I've averaged 2000 miles a year the last 30 years. Right now I'm on a 900 mile weekend trip to Santa Fe. 243000 miles and she still runs great. |
