I'v always thought of the C's as the "all grown up" version of the 356's, and I guess in a way they are.
I prefer the minimalist nature of the pre A and A cars, but I would let Don's C reside in my garage for no rent.
Heck I'd prefer rubber mats to carpet if I could find them for my car.
I'm wanting to get down to the essence and lose all frills. I think that is coming from a sense, in general, that over time we've accumulated far more crap than we need, and after a while the stuff owns you instead of the other way around.
It's like getting a rental space to store stuff, that, in the end, is worth less than the total amount of the annual rent for the space. Nuts unless the stuff has so much sentiment attached to it that you can't let it go. And, if that is the case, it belongs close, not across town in an expensive closet.
How's that for an early morning rant!
I do think the C's make a great looking outlaw coupe if you lose the bumpers as a starter. I'm hiding from members of the local PCA club after that remark.
