Buyers fret as the average cost of a new car nears $50K

[Cheezoholic]

20. Bought mine for 500 about 7 years ago because the timing belt busted on it, pretty easy fix as long as they're high

up off the ground. I can barely check the oil without help now it sits so damn low. I did some additional work on the engine and rebuilt the manual transmission and am just finishing all new front end parts. Its the bubble eyes one. I was checking prices on these things lately and flipped out. Already offered 5k the way it sets. And they are fast! I had mine up to 137 before I chickened out. Had another 10mph in it easy lol. Can't believe they allowed a small car with a 125hp engine that redlined at 8k rpm and had a top speed of 150mph while your butts 8 inches off the ground lol. I'll never sell it unless I have to. Younger (and older now) "tuner" kids love them and its usually a youngster driving them like a bat out of hell. I always get a double look when I get gas and an old 6'2 white haired guy that looks like a cross between a hippie and a Trumpster pry's himself out. Dawg it gets harder and harder to get out of that thing every year lol. Might drive it to Jersey to get gas next lol (jking Those late 80's ones are even harder to find. Pretty penny for a junk one. But I'm sure many of us who are older think about the cars we've had in our past and imagine if we still had them. Could've probably retired 10 years ago with the 2 I had before I turned 21 lol.

Sorry, I digress
