These cars are unique. They are very simple, quite raw, very fast and unforgiving, they have no amenities (really) and if you try to make them something other than what they really are it wll be a compromise at best. That being said I think many people are attacted to them in the first place because back in the day THEY were faster than anything on the road and few of us could afford one or had the chance to get one when we were younger (I speak for myself). You have to be a real gearhead to appreciate how the simplicity can dominate the road and how to use it. But now maybe after having one you realize you gained a few pounds and it doesn't fit as well as your friends (insert other car name) and it's just not something you can get in and drive for several hours with someone that shares your enthusiasm, nor is your significant other willing to put up with its (perceived) shortcomings. Maybe its not the car for you. BUT If knowing that under your right foot you have control of THE most potent street car ever unleashed on the American public during the Muscle Car era then you will keep it and all objections will go unheard and be drowned out by the blaring exhaust pipes. To keep it you have to be commited to what it actually is and was, a no frills kick ass bad to the bones lightweight mass produced Hot Rod.
