Good point, Mike and another, could I have bought as many smiles on MY face as I have out of the 1500$ I paid for Lucky, my 68 coupe? He may be painted roadside department green, with several cans of bondo under that skin, but just the grins on both my and my children's faces as we drove that old Imp to car shows, the ice cream shoppe, the local pool, or for no particular reason at all, have been well worth what meager investment I've put in either my coupe, or my 1200$ 4 door (Lucy) so far. If you're wanting investments, get into real estate or the stock market. If you want driving pleasure, buy an Imp and keep it maintained properly, and the rest is easy......
