I was racing before I got my liscense..... This is the car I basically learnt to drive in.....
84 dodge daytona drag car
And I raced these for fun....
My first vehicle to drive every day (still customizing it)86 s10 blazer (paid 300 for it all original.
after a woman ran into me at a red light
then my toyota I built almost 2 years ago.
The 72 c10 that we built at the beginning of this year.
And you can look on my myspace for a million other pics of past cars, some chevelles I built, a few mustangs and some old hot rods I done last year. myspace.com/brandonr6295
the op has had like 9999 cars, and he is like 22 (or something? :shrug
then the guy above me, has this all out drag car, that can probably twist a diamond with all its torque, then a few nice cars, and 2 other very nice project cars.
In the nicest possible way to the OP... those old Merc's and Jag's aren't that expensive to buy, it's the repairs that are the killer. It's perfectly possible to buy a load of "cheap" (£1000) luxobarges, and run them into the ground and trade to something else when they eventually die. Nobody wants such massive cars with large engines anymore, so some cars values have plummeted... look at all the big engined older (rust prone) Mercs, or the V8 Lexus of old...
Ironically while I'm sure he gets lots of "rich kid" remarks, your average family with a 59-plate Ford Mondeo have probably spent more for nothing...
but maybe i am hypocritical..my brothers truck-bought completely with his own money-is a very expensive truck (both to buy and maintain/fuel). he just happened to get a sweet deal on it, which was VERY cheap
I just look at cars that are value for the money I want to spend..
For example, the BMW E32 740iL was over $200,000 brand new, I paid $9,500 for that I got..
-Automatic stability control
-Doubled glazed windows
-286hp (213kw) V8
-Dual zone climate control
-Automatic soft close boot (trunk)
-Parking sensors
The list goes on and on. the car has done less than 100,000miles (160,000km) and has never missed a beat. some one previously suggested that I could have bought a $40,000 brand new bmw... In Australia a $40,000 brand new BMW is a http://www.carsales.com.au/new ... 08&__sid=12A57B5817FB 118i Hatchback.
