Exactly! A friend has a mint 1988 Lincoln Town Car, leather, vinyl half top, 18 feet long, cruise control, 5 liter Michigan made engine and entire vehicle. Gas? sure— but out cruises any... any EV and has long outlived it’s projected use life. Through maintenance, by this former NASCAR master mechanic (oil, lube, tranny, brakes, RWD differential change out lube). Radio replaced with new tech, connected to JBL system original inside. A touring vehicle that is a tank in truth. Loves driving by the EV charging stations that take forever and give limited range. Could get 10K for it- if wanted to sell it. Behemoth.
