Well, that's your choice. However for me it would very much depend on which year and model of Lotus versus make, model and year of wagon.
I have a soft spot for a red/white 1957 Chevy. My dad designed and built a collapsible roof top mounted sleeper for the family wagon. It had four vacuum cylinders, (one for each corner) that when hocked up to the carb would raise it up four feet. In 1958 we went on a month long adventure from Ontario to California to visit relatives and see the sights like Disneyland.

Yep, back in my teen years, if you drove a station wagon, it best have a surf board on top of it and you lived near the ocean or you would get laughed off the street.

I'm guessing the kids slept up there, the parents slept in a motel room -

I got hammer timed Saturday night. not sure how much I had. my best guess is 8-10 Moscow Mules. I like to stick to one type of drink because if I mix things they seem to get bad fast. well I woke up Sunday hungover as hell. not sick to my stomach but a splitting head ache and a general feeling of total crap. so I decided to go to one of those Hydration Therapy places. basically they have all these various IVs they can give you for different things.

felt a little better after a few minutes and a lot better after about an hour. still kinda felt like crap though. I think later in the day it was more due to me only having a double 1/4 pounder w/cheese and fries. all in all I'd say it was worth the $60. I hate feeling sick more than just about anything. so it doesn't look like I'll be drinking for a while after that. it usually goes like this. my guess right now is it'll be about 2 weeks before the thought of booze doesn't make me sick. lol

My source of rehydrating IV and a shot of oxygen for several hangover years.

Wouldn't it be easier to just drink less?
