Default Anyone ever want to build an off-the-wall daily driver?

I drive a 1995 Park Avenue Ultra as a daily driver. I want to keep the miles off of the 98 TA, and the 79 TA will never be a comfortable driver, so I bought this because we were having a kid and I wanted 4 doors.

Now I hate this car. Everyone laughs at me, I despise the FWD, and I think I've only had my son in it maybe twice, if that. The car is also currently down because of a broken water inlet that put me on the hook for a ride home. Now I'm finding all this crap that was hacked together and I tore the topend down to fix it. Nothing sucks worse than spending time and money on a car you hate.

I love to set up my cars to handle nicely. I've set up both my cars with good suspensions, but this Buick is like an elephant on roller skates.

I would LOVE to find an old 4-door like a Catalina or something like that, something I can pick up cheap, and then redo the suspension, and set it up like a nice handling car, and then daily drive the hell out of it.

Am I nuts?
