Im not gonna read all that shit, but I'll say this about owning an older car. It's not for everyone.
I own a 74, 87, 87, 80.
2 ground up builds, 2 "well maintained/low miles"
I don't give a shit who you are, how pristine, well kept, low miles, etc. After 30 years, shit breaks, hardens, rusts, etc. Rubber is the worst, it cracks all over the fucking car. Motor mounts and suspension rubber especially.
You want an old car? Ok, cool. Just set aside coin to replace essential parts.
On the positive side, these cars feel amazing once you get them back to spec.
- Yeah, true it's not for everyone, but when people do it and then bitch about it I think "You only have yourself to blame" because...Muncher
- shit will break on a modern car too, but it's all hidden behind a screen of ignorance about how cars work when you buy something modern.Muncher
- Post pics of your cars Sofaking... would love to see them. I can put some of mine too, although my car is fucking filthy at the moment. = )Muncher
- I was just gonna say, I've owned new cars too and those are more costly when something goes wrong. Old cars can be fixed by just about anyone.sofakingback
- I avoid having electronics like power windows when I can, its a nightmare when you can't figure out whats wrong with the system. at least with 80s carssofakingback
- I have somewhere on this thread, i can post again if its not seen as attention whoring. lolsofakingback
- I also prefer to avoid any fancy electrics. Post them up. Maybe we should have a different thread for car owners stuff.Muncher
