car culture shifting

[GregV814]

I've got a few years behind me, and like many things I've seen trends come and go.
I've had a few Corvettes, a few Model A's, I dabbled in Bristish cars, a few early 50's pick ups, a 55 chevy a few 49-52 Bel Airs, the list goes on. I've made a little money, lost some, but had a ball.
Now try to buy a fixer upper , project, for under 10-12 thousand!!! No. I dont want a '64 Pontiac 4S, "some rust, no cancer, original miles???", "ran 2 years ago" for $8500.00.

Honda? Toyota, Kia??? KIA????, rusty 81 Beetle???

Okay, I'm done venting. Thank you.

Gone are the days of a $100 car.

Grandson ended up with 2 of these, and who knows how many other clunkers.

Teach a man to work on cars, and he'll never be bored.

Or have money.

Works the same for Shooting, Hunting and Fishing.

I was always broke until my 40s.

Get yourself a BMW...

Might I recommend an older 5 series....... What was factory designated as the E34. Ever seen Ronin? This car was in one of the best car chase scenes ever filmed.

They remade it with an electric this time. Shorter movie.

Halfway through the chase, Franks car is running out of juice and the hitmen in the Dodge cap him at the Supercharger station.

Mustang II's are coming up in value. They are hard to find in decent shape since most rotted away or were chopped up for their front ends. My 74 Ghia and 78 King Cobra.

I did say "one of the", right?
