Curt? You got my e-mail? Well said about the air puffer cars, BTW. It's really a combination of things...but it all boils down to which feel or look you prefer. The newer the car, the less the driver is really connected. And looks? Well, I'd suppose a high school cheerleader would be impressed as hell with a late 80's Turbo...
So, is a trip to Florida in your future? At this level, it's a tough decision...and I'd NEVER consider buying a car without looking first.
