My 17 year old daughter and I, both think this is the coolest Pagoda out there....she often asks me why we spend so much time and money on our treasured vehicles as they will be of no use to her generation when we leave them behind! No Blue tooth, no NAV., no computer and not green friendly....at the very least, this one looks “hip” according to her, and I have to agree. It would likely draw more attention than a Concours restored version!
