    I use to have the same attitude. But here I am 20 years later appreciating a nice '81 Z/28, 454 SS trucks, a Syclone , a Typhoon, a clean original GN or a nice T/A GTA, while remembering friends and co-workers driving them to their death. But it was all they had. Now I see those same people talking about trying to find another, but can't, or wishing they had not been forced to drive all winter. We'll see where cars of today stand in 20 years, and just what's left.
    Cars from down south make great restoration projects. Somebody usually enjoyed the heck out of them.
    Another great post. Couldn't have said it better myself.

    And that's what makes the car market special...people trying to chase down those cars that they drove to death when that was all they had.

        But while you're sitting there watching thinking that, others (like me) will be thinking "Glad I got to use it while it was new!"

          using a car when its new doesnt necessarily constitute driving it in the winter.

          My car is approaching 100k miles fast, but you could go as far as saying it looks better than new. You can enjoy a car without destroying it. I wouldnt be surprised if i eventually drive mine to 200k miles in my lifetime, but itll probably still look nearly as good as it does now.... even with hundreds of passes at the drag strip under its belt.

          You cant tell me a person that takes care of their car doesnt enjoy them. Id put money down they enjoy them more.

            True that, I was meaning more so in regards to the other thread where the guy said they had a firehawk with 106 miles since new.
