I own 2 vehicles. '72 Toyota Landcriuser and a 1964 K10 'Burb. The Toyota is really my daily driver. Sun, rain or snow. Needs paint, but the mechanics are good. It has power brakes and no ac.
The 'Burb I basically drive when I want to, if the weather is nice. Don't like to get it dirty. When I park it, I do so (try to) somewhere that I won't get any dings.
But basically I consider them both "drivers". That's what they are meant for. The 'Burb has a 350 with a 4 barrel. Other than that, it's pretty much stock. At 70 mph (which is a pretty decent speed on the highway) I'm turning about 3000 rpms. Normally I drive about 60 on the highway. No ac, but with the floor vents and wing windows, going down the highway when it's 90+ isn't that big a deal. Around town, no ac is more of an inconvenience than a problem. No power brakes or steering is just something I got use to. Now, I really don't think about not having ac, power this and that.
I enjoy driving something unique, rather than a ho-hum vehicle that everyone else has. The "Burb has good paint and overall looks good, but that doesn't keep me from driving it. There are a lots of folks with older vehicles that very seldom get driven, for whatever reason. I say if you have an older vehicle drive it, and enjoy it.
