While my ride quality is a bit stiff [in the name of handling], I can put my finger on what made me fall in love with my car again. Most of which has to do with EFI, overdrive, good sound insulation and a/c.

I'd suggest writing down a few things that annoy you about the car and potential fixes. It rides stiff? Shocks are a quick place to start at a relatively low cost. Does it run too slow/high rpm on the highway? An overdrive makes highway cruising completely different.

After doing my Hemi swap, 6-speed conversion, good brakes, etc, if I could feel comfortable leaving it at walmart occasionally and could avoid bad weather days, I'd daily drive it without hesitating.
