I might, if 'Blu Olandese' weren't so appropriate. 
I am, however, keeping my eyes open for a vintage rack that mounts on the boot lid. Something like on this Alfa Romeo Berlina:

Rarest Miata ever made (per website). 2000 Miata LS in evolution gold paint color (2 were made in 1999 and 399 in 2000 with this color). Nothing else is special about the car but only has 53K miles.

That's definitely my favorite wagon. I was looking for one a few years ago but could only find 100k examples in my area and was worried about repair costs. Plus I wanted a stick.

[QUOTE=sail;18448207]65 Triumph TR4A gets driven most days till it snows.
Very nice! I had a 1966 but sold it in 1972 to buy something a bit more reliable. I'd love to have a TR3 now.

This is my baby. I got her when i was 15, first car, and still have her now at 27. Shes a 1992 Camaro RS, V8, 25th Anniversary edition.
She was completely submerged in a flood in Sept 2011 during the tropical storm we had pass through VA. She floated ACROSS Route-1, down into the "creek". They had to fish her out. The doors unlocked and the trunk opened up when she went under. Luckily my very loving father is a mechanic, and he and the boys completely stripped her, cleaned every little mud packed thing and replaced every ruined thing. It took 3 months. Dried mud still flies out of the vents every time i turn the air on though lol! My dad hates this car.
Last photo is when she was done.

Here's how you combine your hobbies. '87 Westy full camper we bought ten years ago during the week that Pluto was demoted from planethood, with my Cimarron hanging on the back.

My '83 corolla. Lifted 2" on snow tires. Has a stroked higher compression 1.8l, not saying much though haha! May get the nice treatment, or may get sold in the spring. Undecided on it.

Really, why didnt you like it? I thought it was so neat for awhile, pushing a button on the console and it opened itself! My only complaints of it - It never worked in the winters/cold, and it drove me insane when someone would try slamming it like a normal trunk ha
