What could you be driving if

Reply #15
I could have a 1988 Thunderbird in very good condition with low mileage. Or about any other used car in the $4k-5k (Canadian) range. Seriously, I have not really spent much on this car at all. I paid $3500 CDN for it, and made a few repairs over the past 30 months (A/C condenser & lines, rad, alternator, tires, gas tank, custom true duals). The stereo stuff all came out of previous cars, and all of my upgrades were cheap & simple (TC cluster, 10-holes, remote start/keyless, console, tripminder, overhead console, fog lights, steering wheel).

Now, if you ask me what I could buy with the money I've yet to spend (paint job, suspension upgrades, HO/T5 swap, etc) I could probably buy a new... I dunno... Honda Civic or something...

In just the 1 car, or all 5 that I've had?

Honestly, I'd probably just have some other project car, so does it really matter?

Now had I stayed in Boston, I'd have an 05 mustang GT and no motorcycle. I suck at saving money...

I dunno, depending on which car we are talking about, I would prolly buy cheap car, like a cougar/tbird, then fix it up in the same way.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
