We live about 40 miles east of Cleveland and take the car everywhere we can in the summer; library, get groceries (the packing kids fight over who gets to load them), haircuts, mall, restuarants etc.. I try to park away from the beaters, under lights if possible, same as I do with my Explorer. I won't take it into downtown Cleveland, but then again, I don't go there that often anyway. The car is never alone long enough to be vandalized. As soon as you park it, people start walking around checking it out. Its amazing to sit at a distance and watch people. I am tempted to mike the car so I can eavesdrop as to what they are saying. Two of us were at a cruise-in, my Conteporary and an E-M. We were far enough away form the cars so no one knew they were ours and we had a ball listening to the comments, why one was real and one wasn't. Great entertainment. Amazing how many people either owned an original or know someone who does. Hard to believe they madse only 1000 of these. I've had fingerprints and ice cream dribbles, but never any vandalism.
