My car property taxes went from $500/yr to $5.85/yr.
Gets great gas mileage, even has AC, and plays cassette tapes [heh]. I won't be getting any speeding tickets.
I do miss my heated seats, super disk brakes and infrared windshield wipers, though.
People stop me all the time to *talk* about their wagon, they once had. I'm thinking of charging people who want to take a selfie with my wagon. [It's named the *Ronnie Raygun* b/c Reagan was still prez in 1988]
B/c it's an *antique* by DMV standards, it doesn't have to go through emissions testing [another tax scam, in CT]

The heating elements slip between the seat covers and foam structure and are easy to wire up. The same kits are used in pretty much any vehicle that has seats and 12v power, they even sell them at Aircraft Spruce.

If I ever need another car, I’d like to have one from the 1980’s.

I thought they got rid of that emissions tax scam in CT. Guess it was too good of a revenue stream to let die. Wonder when they will re-toll the Wilbur Cross/Merritt, Hartford bridges and I-95.
Still have tokens from the I-95 tolls. Had a plate for the Wilbur Cross/Merritt(Wallingford, Milford, Greenwich) and tear out tickets for the Hartford bridges.
Tough to be a traveling salesman in the '80's, early '90's in CT.
