I just finished a 9-year restoration of my '69 164. Three weeks after I bought her in 1/2001 I was diagnosed with Meniere's Syndrome, a problem with the inner ear. I couldn't stand up, let alone drive. After a lot of treatment and restoration, we are both on the road again. I'll tell you, as crazy as it may sound, this car (and my very understanding wife) got me through an illness that has driven some people over the edge. One more thing, you don't need to drive her to feel good. Many times, when it's too wet, too hot, not enough time, or some other dumb reason, I just go to the garage and sit in her. I can't put a dollar value on her and definitely could not replace her.

Here's a pic of my Garage Queen:
