What could you be driving if

...you had put all the money you've spent on your thundercat away?

This is an offshoot of the other thread, if you didn't guess that already.

My options are, at $10G CAD.

By browsing Canada Trader, I found these nuggets. ($8-10G)

1990 BMW 535I
1997 Talon TSi
1993 Audi S4 Quattro
1998 Volvo S70

Dare I look in the Collector Car Trader? ($6.7-8.4G USD)


1968 CHEVELLE MALIBU

1968  BUICK  RIVIERA
1969 C10
1968 XR7
1968 Mustang
1969 Coronet
1964 T-bird

:( Good God, I think I'm going to be sick. 1962 Thunderbird

I need some lovin in a big way.

Disgusting isn't it?
Think about the good side... You buy that car, drive it and wind up putting the same amount into it to maintain.
We got a good start. Our cars cost little to begin with so if we put 10,000 into them over a few years, it still isn't that much. But say you buy that bird for 7,000 and have to put 10,000 into it. That's 17,000 and more than what the total would be for your bird. :)

But in all seriousness, I probably would have fixed up the camaro I have rotting in my driveway. It was all I wanted when I was 15 but I had a choice to buy something or ride the bus and fix up the camaro. Guess what I chose

You're right. I know. I just had no idea it had gotten to that point. It comes as quite a shock to know that is a $10G car.

Who can afford to build a car when they have to drive it? (What's even worse is I haven't even done that in over a year)

Well, considering that I have about $3500 in my car...my options for what I could have are kinda limited.

I had originally wanted a 5.0 Mustang, but could not find one of them for under $4000. I saw an ad for this thunderbird in the paper for $1500, went and looked at it and the guy said he'd take $1250. Just so happened that I had $1250 in the bank :)

If I had the money I spent on all my parts cars and various other thing. I would have gone almost the same route as Tbird232ci but not as nice. I would have done the RWD conversion on my 89 LeBaron and dropped the 360 commando, from yet another car we had sitting at my parents, down in it.

God the fun I would have had with that. Makes me want to :barf:.
