When I first got my car I was so excited to have it I was driving it 30 miles one way to work in December. No rain but it got cold. What was I thinking????
I drove a huge '68 Merc station wagon for almost ten years. It overheated frequently, finally popped a freeze plug (or cracked the block - couldn't see that spot) and never had a working heater after the first year. I learned to live with the climate. Now I'm a wuss and fiddle with the temp setting all the time.

I miss that car, though. It was just... "one of those."
