It's a most charming car with a wonderful name. It must have inspired you to go out on adventures.
The first car I bought was a huge boat: a 67 Mercury Parklane Brougham. I pretty much downsized after that. The second car I bought was a more sensibly sized 67 Plymouth Barracuda. My third car was just plain tiny. It was what you Brits would know as an Austin 1100. Those cars were very popular in the UK but relatively unknown in the US. I had never driven a manual transmission car when I first sat in that thing. By the time I got it home, I had a pretty good idea of how it all worked. That drive home was an adventure.
