We had a TC for a while, Hugo Boss (?) mebbe with the Windsor. Nice car until it started turning into a money sink. Same problem with the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow project car we had, both gone now.

Hey I'm ahead of the curve too, I had 4 b-body wagons over time 1 350, 2 305s, and one 307.

Pio, what year was the Rolls? I remember reading a review of a new one in the 80s and it said the best thing about them was the tranny. Sourced complete from GM

The station wagon is the ultimate family vacation mobile. Vans have the carrying capacity but just don't cruise as smooth.

I think the ideal is about three vehicles: a pickup for cargo hauling, a nice sedan, maybe a Maxima, for people hauling, and an XKE....

What I have is not exactly ideal....

How's the search for a motorcycle going? You should get a bone density test first old man.

Depends on just how much is 'middle.' But the XKE is ideal, irregardless:
