I whole heartedly disagree with you Wolfgang. A ACVW makes a great
daily driver. They are economical with gas, handle well even in the snow
and rain, and are fun to drive. I have had 13 of them over the years and
everyone has been a daily driver. With the addition of a 12 volt fan in
the curcuit, the heaters are great. Washington state is a great
environment for an ACVW. I always suggest them as a good car to have.
Thanks for your thoughts.
