I've driven the supercharged Vettes and Camaros. I wonder why someone would want that. I've owned beaters for a long time and I'm ok with them.

I sometimes have the desire to get an old clunker and work on it. I still might do it one of these days. Or not.
little-est t2p has been working on a 37 yr old car - and it has reminded me of why I grew tired of old muscle cars … one thing after another typically requires attention

his car sat for an extended period - inside fortunately - but still a significant amount of work required … fuel tank full of crap … fuel lines … hoses … seals … gaskets … just about anything and everything rubber is compromised and needs to be replaced
