If I may offer another 2 cents -
I drive about 10 miles one way to work each day. I needed to replace my
"work" car in the near future. I could buy a used "whatever" for $8-10K,
and have respectable, reliable transportation for years to come. OR, I
could slowly resurrect a classic, 60's, like what I drove in my teens, and
be thrilled with every trip to the grocery store!
Obviously, I am enjoying my drives everyday. I'm at $8000 into it right
now, and I couldn't be happier. She's not quite "reliable", certainly not
"respectable", uses a bit more gas but, there ain't nobody around that put
the same thought process into action - and I love every minute of this
hobby.

My take on this.
An injection molded, chrome taped, suppository shaped,
late model car will cost $15,000 ++ and still need
brakes, injectors cleaned, and transmissions repaired.
Every time you push the window button you feel the
unmistakable feel of PLASTIC. If your have spent
$13,000 + on your car and it has metal switches,
chrome bumpers and real door panels, you have several
thousand to go before you have spent too much. How's
that for rationalization?
