The car should prove durable over the long term, and it’s definitely tough enough to take what I intend to do, which is use it as a tow pig after my Saturn is roadworthy again.

On a side note, I’ve ran the first tank through it, and the mileage was abysmal (273.3mi and 14.301 gallons), but the engine started out running poorly and I had to give it an Italian tune up to get it to come around. Given that it’s running decently now the mileage may improve. It still needs an exhaust and the front clip fixed, and will receive some aero mods over time
