The thing drives like a pig, with all the attributes you stated, but that is not my point. My point is that it is not a performance car, never was never will be, but it is a gas to drive because of all those things. Driving that car is a risk, but I like risk, it is why I routinely drive my Aero as fast as it will go (150 ish) on public highways. Sure if the Comet gets hit and my head hits the metal dash board i will get hurt or I get thrown out because it does not have seatbelts, well that is a risk I am willing to take to drive a bit of history. I drive the thing around the lakes here in Mpls, on weekends when it is sunny, I do not take it on long drives across country. The seats are uncomfortable, the steering is sketchy, and the brakes even though they are new, is almost a misnomer.
And finally, I drove that car when I was a teen, so having it in my garage 30 years later is pretty cool, warts and all
