  • Your last statement says it all. Great post Mike.

  • I like for my cars to be paid for. Its always nice to drive a brand new one, but the personal property Tax here in Missouri is pretty stiff and you keep paying for your "new" car forever.

    so we buy used cars within our price range, Run them for 3 or 4 years and start looking for another one.

    Of course, we don't have classics like you.

    I also love that "not me and the bank" mine are paid for....in lots of ways, blood sweat and tears is one way!

    I love your old time blogs.... Takes me back to learning to drive in old tractors...ahhhh the memories..

    My first car to actually drive, was a Pontiac Catalina. 4 doors, not cool. Red. It was known not as Cherry, but a Tomatoe at school. Those were good times!

    Thanks!

  • My youngest daughter is still mad at me for her 1st car. Stripped down 1972 Pinto, bright orange. It was called "The Pumpkin". :) :)

  • I drove a Pinto once, and it was a fun, tight handling little car. I HAVE to get my wife's Malibu out of the garage this week.............cruisin'mouse

  • I've got over 205k on my 2001 Dakota, doesn't use oil, and the only real repair has been a water pump.
