theres just more reasons to NOT own a muscle car these days there there are to own one. Expensive gas, insurance, reliability, convienace on newer models as well as improved comfort.
It does get old, and I swore that I would NEVER sell my 93 GT, but when it started stalling occasionally after I had spent years trying to tune it to perfection, and the fact the baby seat wouldnt fit in the back, practicality won out and I let it go cheap. I had $10K plus in mods and sold it for $5,800 just to unload it. And i didnt get a lot of offers. In fact, that was the only one. It was a kid who drove half way across the country to buy it because he saw the amount of money i had in it and how cheap I was selling it for. So i had one buyer for a great car with a tons of well done and tasteful mods that i sold for a very good price. Out of every 100 kids these days that are into cars, 99 of them will want some lowered honda civic. its sad, but true. And that was around the 4th time i put my blood . sewat and tears into a car only to have to let it go for a reliable, practical car. I swear I wont do it again, but modding cars is somethign i love, so who knows... |

Trust me, I hear you. Now that I am engaged and thinking of buying a house, I very much hear you.
But I remember how badly I wanted that car...how I dreamed of a cool car in my early teen years. I would be well off right now if I could sell mine, and use that money towards other things.....but..... It is expensive...no doubt about it, it sucks money left and right. All I have to do is drive it one time and watch the kids and old men alike snap there necks trying to get a glimpse of what just passed them. After this, makes all the money seem slight. I have heard way too many guys say they sold theirs and wished they hadn’t...not going down that road if I have a choice. Good luck to all that do. Ryan
