OK you can post your fav car but please link images for the 56k, and clearwire users. Anyway these old cars are really sweet and some are reasonably priced so what kind of classic cars do you suggest that I buy, or maybe the one you would buy?

HEre's a cool car that runs good which you could get for 4500 or so: http://i.imgur.com/jO12tlR.jpg

A really cool 1960 camaro, or the other later camaros that look like sharks, would be good but those are way more expensive than a mustang

Being an asshole is just part of my manly essence


I restored one of these with my dad when I was fourteen until I was sixteen. 1950 De Soto Custom. Three on the tree transmission. Seats 8 comfortably. Back seats have foot rests. More trunk space than just about anything. big rear end white wall tires. And the fuckin hood ornament lights up with the headlights.

Also it's named after a conquistador that raped the americas for Spain or Portugal or something like that

Really regret selling it. But it got 9 miles to the gallon and this was right after Katrina that I started driving it and gas went from 1.79 to 3.95 a gallon in about a weak. I was really depressed for a long time after it was gone but it would have killed me eventually.

It weighed about as much as a small elephant and only had lap belts and the whole dashboard was a steel teeth smasher. The master cylinder acted up despite being honed out and eventually replaced and sometimes the brakes would just straight up not work.

I miss this terrifying, slow, comfy lummox.

A 1994 Mazda Miata R-package, truly a classic car that will fetch hundreds of thousands in 35 years time.

maybe not hundreds of thousands but more than that piece of poo poo '67 Mustang your dad is working on, if you're reading this you know who you are

Why do you want a classic car anyways? You bring it somewhere and then some old gently caress tells you a story about how his buddy had one and did *fart noises for seven minutes of your valuable time* and then some kid comes over and spills ice cream on your seats.

This is actually what happened at the ice cream place down the street from me. Guy comes in with this gorgeous '71 Challenger R/T convertible, 440 6-pak, matching numbers car, so you know this thing is worth coin. Then some old guy is talking to him about his buddies '74 that came with a slant six (aka a car no one cares about) and keeps going more off-topic until the story is more about himself, and then a little kid spills ice cream on it trying to open the door of the car parked next to it. It didn't end up on the seats, I embellished for humor.
