I'll admit that things like this make a very convincing argument for a turn key hot rod that is a very capable track day ride that will probably fulfill the boy racer need in myself along with the cruise control and a/c requirements of my wife, while being nice enough the kids will want to borrow it to drive it.
I guess that brings us to the age old adage about what matters most to the particular individual, the journey or the destination. I can honestly see it both ways and have done it both ways in the past. Suffice it to say that thankfully we all have differing opinions of that view and its what keeps thing interesting. If we all sold off our old heaps for bargain late model mustangs, it would indeed be a boring place.
I agree , I enjoy automotive diversity even in my driveway today. Ford, Chevy, Plymouth and Dodge.
Currently for myself time is a premium first, that doesn't mean I would waste a buck on a new toy.....just with the kids at the ages they are at I don't have the entire year's worth of every hour away from work to spend in the garage. I have done that in the past spent an entire summer after work doing bodywork and paint on 2 cars that year. I enjoyed that back then. Today I can't be that selfish with my time raising kids, spending time with the family, work and doing a honey do around the house.
When I get independently wealthy I can allocate some $ to a shop of my own and spend 8 hours a day building the ultimate 2400# 72 Road Runner and still maintain my other obligations.
