Hey,
I got my 99 road worthy in August of '02 and have been driving it since. It has let me down, in -20 degree weather, when it just wouldn't go. Other than that, its been off the road for probably a total of a week for little repairs to keep it going. Its a great daily driver for me, Im in high school and make about 20 miles a day in total, going here and there.
On the bad side, I do not like to go on extended trips on the turnpike or long highway stretches. The 4 speed tranny is solid, but it needs 5th for a nice cruising gear, to darn loud going 65-70 at 3k+ RPM.
I love my 99, kills any c900 in a beauty contest, plus the fact that maintaining a 28 year old car is pretty dang cool.
DAnH,
'75 99 wagonback "cheese-mobile"
