[columbiA]

I have been driving "A",s since 1953,and I would routinely drive about 400 miles a day when on a long trip.Nowdays,250 miles a day is enough.I have never had a breakdown that required more than a1/2 hr to repair on the side of the road.I have also been using a Columbia overdrive since 1960 & also have the same O D in my other "A" as well.To me,an O D is a necessity if you truly want to drive your car.If you just use the car to piddle around town in or use in a parade a few times a year,then you dont need O D.I would much rather go on a coast-to-coast trip in an "A" than a 10 year old computerized car.At least I know the "A" would get me home.As for towing an "A",that would only happen if I was bringing home a parts car.
