Automotive rant
Having moved recently, and two very close calls while motorcycling (driver crossed center line and only looked up from cell phone in time to save me and an F-150 turned left in front of me going 50 mph...thankfully hit his brakes mid turn), I’ve mothballed my motorcycling gear for the time being.
Considering another hobby car and dismayed that every decent vehicle is priced as though it’s the star of the show at Barret-Jackson. Doesn’t matter what it is if in decent condition. Want a nice TR6? $30-$50k. Early 70’s Camaro? Even more. Mid-year Vet? 6 figures. Heck, a decent Beetle is well north of $20k.
To quote BB King...the thrill is gone. If you’re not willing to spend north of $50k for a car that you’ll still need to invest in...best to stay home.
Rant over.
